You can be a care manager, a therapist, or an advocate. You can work in a school, a mental health clinic, a primary care office, or a community agency. It\u2019s one career with a variety of meaningful roles.\r\n\r\n<strong>What inspired you to become a social worker?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI chose social work to help others. I want to show people that someone <em>does <\/em>care\u2014that there can be light at the end of any tunnel. The best part for me is being a part of someone\u2019s life and making a difference, big or small.\r\n\r\n<strong>How has URMC supported your growth as a social worker?\r\n<\/strong>\r\n\r\nUR has allowed me to explore different aspects of social work in both the mental health and medical fields. It\u2019s also allowed me to grow by recognizing my strengths and serving as a mentor by supervising social work interns.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_190652\" align=\"alignright\" width=\"540\"]<img class=\"wp-image-190652 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/cratrina-meeks-540x843.jpg\" alt=\"Cratrina Meeks, LMSW, Pediatrics\" width=\"540\" height=\"843\" \/> Cratrina Meeks, LMSW, Pediatrics[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Cratrina Meeks, LMSW<\/h3>\r\n<em>Pediatrics<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>What advice would you give to someone considering a career in social work?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMy advice to anyone considering a career in social work is to understand that it\u2019s not a field you enter for the money; it\u2019s a field you get into for the love and support of people in need, mainly those in crisis. You need to be compassionate and remember, people are already going through enough, so kindness goes a long way. Lastly, we must know our limits and recognize that self-care is essential.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_190662\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"540\"]<img class=\"wp-image-190662 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/naomi-hardy-540x843.jpg\" alt=\"Naomi Hardy, MSW, Heart Failure &amp; Transplant Program\" width=\"540\" height=\"843\" \/> Naomi Hardy, MSW, Heart Failure &amp; Transplant Program[\/caption]\r\n<h3><\/h3>\r\n<h3>Naomi Hardy, MSW<\/h3>\r\n<em>Heart Failure &amp; Transplant Program<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>What\u2019s the most rewarding part of being a social worker?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nOne of the most rewarding parts of this work is when clients, especially those from marginalized or minority backgrounds, see me and feel seen. There\u2019s something powerful about representation. When a patient walks into the room and states,\u00a0<em>\u201cYou look like me, you get it,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0there\u2019s an immediate sense of safety and trust.\r\n\r\n<strong>What inspired you to become a social worker?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nI became a social worker because of my life experiences. I spent years trying to help the people closest to me, and I realized that you can't force people to change if they\u2019re not ready. No matter how much you love them or how badly you want better for them, they must choose change. That realization hurt, but it also gave me clarity. I decided to return to school to learn how to help people who\u00a0want support and are ready for change, and appreciate someone walking beside them. That\u2019s where I\u2019ve found purpose. I took the pain and frustration I once felt and turned them into something that empowered others.\r\n\r\n<strong>How has UR supported your growth as a social worker?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nURMC has played a big role in my development as a social worker. I completed my advanced field placement at URMC (CPEP), and from the very beginning, I was surrounded by knowledgeable, patient professionals who were eager to teach and support me. That experience set the tone for how I view this field and the type of social worker I want to be. I have a supervisor I can go to with concerns and questions or to process challenging situations. That openness and guidance have been essential to my growth. URMC has provided a solid foundation and a space where I feel heard, challenged, and encouraged to keep learning.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_190672\" align=\"alignleft\" width=\"540\"]<img class=\"wp-image-190672 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/human-resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/nolan-ahearn-540x843.jpg\" alt=\"Nolan Ahearn, LMSW, Pediatric Nephrology \" width=\"540\" height=\"843\" \/> Nolan Ahearn, LMSW, Pediatric Nephrology[\/caption]\r\n<h3>Nolan Ahearn, LMSW<strong>\r\n<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n<em>Pediatric Nephrology<\/em>\r\n\r\n<strong>What advice would you give to someone considering a career in social work?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nMy advice to someone entering a social work career is to be okay with being uncomfortable. There are a lot of resources and opportunities to help people, which can be overwhelming at times. Do not pressure yourself with knowing everything. We are not social workers because we have a magic wand to fix it all; we are social workers to help families navigate the system and empower them to find their right way forward.\r\n\r\n<strong>What\u2019s the best advice you\u2019ve ever received in your career?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe best piece of advice I have ever received in my career is to celebrate the small victories! Changemaking does not happen overnight, so any chance we get to see a patient and their family make a small step of progress, we need to celebrate it!\r\n\r\n<strong>What\u2019s the most rewarding part of being a social worker?<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe most rewarding part of being a social worker is watching a child bogged down by chronic illness still get to live out their life in ways that are meaningful to them. Resilience in the world of pediatric medicine is so cool to see. I love hearing a child discuss recent musical, athletic, artistic, or personal endeavors and how they achieved them, despite the cards they have been dealt.\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n\r\nJoin our team.
