I am Jenika Scott, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I earned my Master of Social Work (MSW) degree. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have earned several professional certificates, including Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Dismantling Oppression, Political Social Work, and a mini-certificate in Interprofessional Trauma-Informed Practices.

As a committed advocate for social change, I have made significant contributions to various publications. Notably, I co-authored impactful policy proposals for immigrant communities in Michigan, featured in the SBM journal. I have also shared insights on laws and policies affecting newcomers at conferences like MITESOL.

During my time in India, I authored a manifesto advocating for the rights of young urban women at the Action Aid Association. Additionally, I engaged in guest lecturing at both Madras Christian College and Madras Christian Community College, where I shared my expertise on social work and community development. I actively participated in community development projects and research among Irular community members, demonstrating my dedication to promoting social justice and equity on a global scale.
