It's officially summer!  Lots of exciting things happening at Social Work Solutions this summer.  Not the least of which is the addition of Nasira Mukendi as an MSW intern.   Mrs. Mukendi is already a very accomplished professional and I am thrilled to have her on the team.

Nasira was raised in the San Francisco Bay Area California. She joined the U.S. Air Force Reserves at the age of 18 and worked in an aeromedical staging unit, which is a mobile hospital for wounded military members. Nasira served in the Air Force for six years as she finished her B.S in biomedical sciences in 2009. Nasira met her husband in military training in Texas and they have been married 7 years and have 4 daughters. As a military family, they have lived in 4 different states and two countries. Nasira received her Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from Florida International University in 2011 focusing on health promotion and disease prevention. After receiving her Master’s Nasira began working in military drug education, detection, and deterrence. Nasira has volunteered in event planning, organizing and fundraising with various military family support organizations, the American Red Cross, and the American Heart Association. Nasira enjoys traveling, visiting historic sites and trying world cuisines. She loves spending time with family, cooking, sports and reading. 

During her internship Nasira will be participating in community activities, advocating on behalf of clients as well as developing and implementing policy initiatives.   Her considerable skills are an asset to the community and we are thrilled to have her at Social Work Solutions.  She will also be available to see a limited number of clients in individual sessions.
