Welcome, Jordan Bracht!
 Please welcome
Jordan Bracht, OU Practicum Student working on her Masters Degree in Social Work at OU-Tulsa. Jordan is from Tulsa, was raised in Oklahoma City, and has lived in Tulsa for the past seven years.
When not in school, Jordan loves to read and backpack. She also has a guilty pleasure of eating dark chocolate. Almost a year ago, she became an aunt when her niece, Audrey, was born. She loves being an auntie!
When asked why she looks forward to coming to the CAC every day, Jordan said,
"I know that abuse has a significant impact on many children and families; therefore, I would like to learn more about abuse so I can better understand and serve those affected by it. Also, I'm interested in the multidisciplinary team format and want to learn about the benefits of individuals in different fields working together toward a common goal."
She also added,
"Everyone at CAN has been welcoming and willing to include me and give me opportunities to learn. I appreciate that very much!"
