Karina Smyth

Associate Clinical Social Worker, Family Health Care Network, Inc., CA

My INST undergraduate degree taught me how to critically examine the impacts of my work and of the profession - a necessity in working within social work systems. I was drawn to social work because it is a broad field, yet remains intrinsically focused on the principle of challenging social injustice.
