2024 Student Employee of the year

Throughout my 20-year career working with future social workers, I have not met a more capable and passionate individual than Camille. Her strengths include: the desire for constant self-improvement—evident in her motivation to always grow and learn, professionalism—shown by her drive to develop and implement culturally competent, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and empowering ideas in our research.


Her dedication shines through in her constant gathering and analysis of new information, always propelling our work forward. Additionally, her leadership is evident in her countless moments of critical thinking and analysis, particularly in how we can best support youth with mental health conditions.
