Jenna Rozenboom ’24 is taking her passion for helping others to Roanoke County Social Services, where she is working as a family services specialist in child welfare.
“I’ve always felt a pull toward learning about how the mind works,” said Rozenboom, a psychology major. “In the last five years at Randolph, I’ve taken a special interest in mental health and advocating for those who need a voice and can’t speak for themselves. I’m interested in child and developmental psychology. Social work is a great avenue to help others and be an advocate for tiny minds.”
She saw the importance of social work firsthand over the last year while working as a psychiatric technician in the emergency room. Her time at Randolph has left her ready for the future.
“The psychology department will always hold a special place in my heart,” Rozenboom said. “My professors have personally guided me in the right direction year after year, and I owe my success to them. They’ve prepared me for this next step by lending a helping hand but also allowing me to flourish on my own.”
