We recently connected with Kimberly Smith and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Kimberly , thanks for joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
In fact there was a moment, the light bulb affect happened in my career. I had landed my first job out of college working for the Government in a Social work setting. My primary degree is in Psychology but seeing that it was a relative degree I was qualified to work as a Case Manager in the Foster Care and Adoptions department. After working there for about 6 months I began to think heavily, how this career is a path for Sociology majors and instantly felt that I had a passion to help with one’s mental health, which falls in the Psychological reIm of work. I wanted to put more focus to help people before getting into these situations or life decisions made that got them there.
I wanted to bring awareness and focus more on preventive measures. Getting a chance to see how the government limits services for families, parents, and children pushed the trajectory moment in my career. After doing research and psychological test on myself. I attained knowledge of my strengths and how It was more fitting as a career choice, for me to be apart of Bettering, Uplifting and Strengthening one’s mental health. Opposed to working with limitations with one’s life at stake.
