Sociology Alumni

Hi! I originally came to Geneseo as an education major, but switched to sociology during my sophomore year. I鈥檝e always known I wanted to work in geriatrics, but wasn鈥檛 really sure how I was going to make that happen. Majoring in sociology at Geneseo opened me up to a whole new worldview that I use everyday in my job now at Lifespan as a geriatric care manager! After Geneseo, I went on to get my Master鈥檚 in Social Work from SUNY Brockport, and started with the Finger Lakes Caregiver Institute at Lifespan in January of this year, where I provide supports and resources to caregivers of people living with dementia. I am certain that I wouldn鈥檛 be where I am, doing the job that I鈥檝e always wanted, without my experiences at Geneseo and the things I learned both in and out of the classroom (mainly inside of Dr. Eisenberg鈥檚 classroom馃槈)
