Employee Spotlight: Nick

We’re taking advantage of #NationalSocialWorkMonth to spotlight Nick, LMSW!🔦 Nick has been a Social Worker since graduating from the Arizona School of Social Work with his Master’s Degree in 2017. During his schooling, he interned with the City of Phoenix Early Head Start developmental program and as a Housing Specialist with the Arizona Coalition to end domestic violence.

After graduating, Nick worked as a Case Manager for SMI adults with substance abuse disorders and developmental delays. His next job was as a therapist for children and families in a community mental health setting. Nick initially became interested in social work after a medical Social Worker assisted his family during a difficult time in their lives. He found what they did interesting and decided to go back to school for a career change.

Nick chose Hospice Promise after a great interview with Owner/CEO Deborah Horning and our former Clinical Director. The interview lasted about two and a half hours long, and most of the time was spent laughing and sharing stories and experiences. During the interview, he witnessed interactions between the staff and loved the positive, friendly, family environment. At that time, he knew he wanted to work for Hospice Promise (and we knew we wanted him on our team😉).
