"The cohort I have been a part of has been so supportive of one another and that has been a gift socially and academically."

We are so excited to start spotlighting our students who are graduating! First up is Stevie Riedley. Stevie chose this program because it provided her the opportunity to work at multiple community sites to receive her practicum hours, and she knew that she would receive experience working with a wide variety of populations.

She loves watching her clients overcome challenges and learn new skills.
Stevie was recently offered a job at Heartfelt Solutions, where she had previously completed a practicum placement. She stated that she loves the values at Heartfelt as they align with her own.
