Get to know KSSN's 2022-2023 interns! 

Meet Brooke James, our intern at East Kentwood High School-KPS in Kentwood Public Schools. Brooke graduated from GVSU with her Bachelor's Degree in Social Work in April 2022 and will have her MSW in April 2023. Her future plans include hospice social work while she works toward full licensure, though she also has a "huge soft spot" for kids and families.

At EK High, Brooke's primary responsibilities include facilitating TRAILS to Wellness, an anxiety and depression support group for teens, as well as regularly meeting with students for social emotional check-ins, and stocking and maintaining the EK Care Closet. Brooke says her favorite part of her KSSN internship is getting a variety of learning experiences that will benefit her future as a social worker in West Michigan.

Interesting facts about Brooke are that she has a tattoo on the bottom of her big toe and her dog, Penny, is her "precious child"! 

Keep up the good work, Brooke. KSSN is grateful for the care you put into our community and we can't wait to see where you land in the future!
