As an intern in my final year of Masters of Social Work studies, I worked for Chrissy as she led the Quality Improvement/Program Development department at a major local non-profit organization. Every week, I would have a one-on-one conversation with Chrissy to discuss daily tasks and projects she assigned me as well as my bigger-picture questions about life in the field. Every time, I left the room more energized, focused, and inspired than when I entered as Chrissy would challenge me to dig deep within to articulate my deepest values and vision for myself as an aspiring social work professional– “my why” as Chrissy called it. She masterfully kept me on task with projects assigned to me while also finding and creating opportunities within and without the Agency where I could exercise those goals she helped me give voice to in our weekly conversations. Chrissy cut through the noise of my current moment as an overwhelmed intern and graduate student and connected what felt mundane to that which was meaningful to me and guided me to clarify how to get from where I was to where I wanted to go.
