Social Work Intern Spotlight: Meet Simone!
Simone Fraga has always loved working with older adults as she had strong bonds with her grandparents. She finds learning from their lifetime of memories and experiences so valuable. For the past year, she has been interning at Alzheimer’s San Diego as part of her Master’s program in Social Work. When choosing her program, she realized if she wanted to work with this population, she would need to learn more about dementia, something she describes as still being “on the whole, very misunderstood.”
