Welcome, Tanya Davis & Taylor Carrell!
Please welcome
Tanya Davis, OU Practicum Student. Tanya is from Muskogee, Okla., and is currently working on a Masters Degree in Social Work with a concentration in Administration and Community Practice at the University of Oklahoma.
When not in school, Tanya likes to read, shop and spend quality time with her family. One of her interests is to increase the effectiveness of human service organizations that provide individual services for the well-being and empowerment of those in our community. When asked why she is looking forward to her time spent her at the Center, she said, "I look forward to interning at the Center to learn more about the organization and see how the program is ran."
Please welcome
Taylor Carrell, intern with the Department of Human Services. Taylor is from Owasso, Okla., and is currently working on her Masters Degree in Social Work at OU-Tulsa (graduation set for May 2015). She received her Bachelors Degree from Harding University in Searcy, Ark.
Taylor is a black belt in taekwondo and works part time as an Assistant Instructor at her martial arts academy.
She enjoys observing how the multidisciplinary team works together and how each part of the process impacts the families served. "I love being a part of a safe place that exists for children during perhaps the most vulnerable time in their lives, while learning how the various agencies work to provide support and stability throughout the children's experiences here," said Taylor.
