Positive Transition Services Intern Spotlight: What is your major and school?I currently attend Clark Atlanta University andI am in the Masters of Social Work (MSW)program in the Whitney M. Young Jr. Schoolof Social Work. Why did you choose to intern with PTS?In essence, this internship chose me. I wascoming off a previous internship that didn’tserve me the way I thought it would. So,when I found out about this one, I wasexcited about working with a population I had little experience working with. I felt like thisopportunity would be beneficial. To date, it has been just that.
