SOA Alumni news: Tiffany Gollahan’s new job at a domestic violence / social service agency in the Decatur area. August 2012.

SOA alumna Tiffany Gollahan reports that she will soon start her new job at “a domestic violence/social service agency as a case manager for homeless/potentially homeless people or people/families in transitional housing.” Tiffany says: “I’ll be meeting with them on an individual basis and coming up with a plan to aid them in becoming self-sufficient, as well as offering some skills-building opportunities and providing information on continuing education, home and budget management skills, and services provided by other organizations in the Decatur area. I wanted to thank you all for helping me reach this point in my life. The skills, concepts and diversity training I acquired in the SOA program has made a career in the social services field possible for me.”

Congratulations Tiffany, and good luck in your new job!
