Autumn is currently pursuing her Master of Science in Social Work (MSSW) at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, after earning her bachelor’s degree from Berea College. As a first-generation college student from Appalachia, she is passionate about advocating for children, families, and underserved communities through trauma-informed and strengths-based social work. One of her favorite things about the College of Social Work is the supportive community and the opportunity to learn alongside people who share a commitment to making a meaningful difference. After earning her MSSW, Autumn plans to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and work with survivors of trauma while continuing to advocate for vulnerable populations. Outside of school, she enjoys spending time with her three cats, exploring Knoxville, and making memories with family and friends.
