Anna Leigh Mahar portrait

"As a Social Work student, I continue to learn through hands-on experiences that effective advocacy begins with an in-depth understanding and respect of personal beliefs, culture, the needs of clients, and the systems that directly shape those lived experiences. Approaching each person with the empathy and dignity they deserve is imperative and holds great meaning in my life.

"Through each of my field experiences thus far, I have developed a particular interest in the mental health, aging, and social justice of older and impaired adults. Central is helping me turn something deeply personal into a career that will allow me to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of others."
