This Social Work Month, we’re celebrating Mikayla and Gina, two incredible members of our Social Services team at The Pines at Poughkeepsie!
Mikayla, a student intern from Marist University, is completing her senior BSW practicum with us and has made such a meaningful impact through her one-on-one visits with residents. She plans to continue her journey at Marist pursuing her Master’s in Social Work—and fun fact, she’s also the captain of Marist’s D1 Volleyball Team!
Gina, our Social Work Assistant, is often the first friendly face residents meet during intake, helping ease the transition from hospital to our community with warmth and reassurance. And while she’s amazing at what she does here, she’ll tell you her favorite role is being a mom.
We’re so grateful for the compassion, energy, and heart they bring each day.
