Stella
Barrutia '04 : Since graduation, I have moved to
Boston, MA where I will start my advanced standing MSW program
at Boston College in January. In the meantime, I have been keeping
myself busy working at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston,
MA. It was voted the 12th best hospital in the nation according
to U.S. News and World Report. I work in the care coordination
department where I assist with discharge planning with nurses
and social workers. It's a different experience than working
at a psychiatric hospital, but I am learning a lot about the
medical field, including terminology and insurance issues with
rehab and skilled nursing facility referrals. In addition, I
am also engaged! Mark Coomes, (ND '03) proposed to me on August
28, 2004 and I, of course, accepted! He is currently at Brown
Medical School in Providence, RI which is only a 45 minute car
ride from Boston. So it's nice to have someone familiar in a
new and strange place.
Lesley
Hamilton Beck '04 : I have been extremely busy since
graduating from the SMC social work program last May. In June,
I started the advanced standing program at Arizona State University.
It has been an intense program, but I feel that Saint Mary's fully
prepared me for graduate school. I also started my internship
in August at Pima County Child Protective Services, which has
been fun and challenging. I was also just recently married on
December 18, 2004 to Josh Beck (ND '99).
Sarah Jones '07
Sarah is attending Graduate School at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She recently received the Chicago Foundling Home Scholarship for her academic achievement. Congratulations Sarah!

Saint
Mary's Social Work Majors...
Making a Difference!
It is my love for people and genuine compassion for those less fortunate that has lead me to Social Work. I believe that God has called me to share, care, and lead those who are in need of help of any kind. As I serve others I am actively displaying the love I have for others; I am simply trying to be 'the change I want to see in the world'.
