Social Worker, PhD Student
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
Johns Island, South Carolina, United States
Kathryn Roosevelt received her Maters of Social Work degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and a Bachelor of Social Work from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. She became part of the first Ph.D. cohort with the Social Work joint program at North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and the University of North Carolina Greensboro. Kathryn did this after ten years in the field post MSW, working in a variety of settings but always with the focus on aging. Kathryn’s experience in aging began early in her social work career where she provided services to client/patient as well as caregivers. This experience is what drives her passion to research and further understand aging outcomes.
Kathryn’s research interest, as stated, continues to focus on aging, most specifically in understanding the retirement process. Kathryn’s hope with her research is to identify the most valuable resources post-retirement, and how to implement this understanding in more thorough pre-retirement planning programs.
