Emma Johnson
Potomac, MD | Two Year Pathway
Undergraduate Institution: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Pronouns: She/Hers/Herself
I chose NYU Silver because of how strong Silver is in micro social work and because I've always wanted to live and work in New York City. I love being in the city and knowing I'm getting an education that will make me the best social worker I can be. Even though the pandemic has changed how we learn, I still feel like I'm surrounded by talented, motivated people and I am grateful to be able to call them my classmates. Email Emma
Yamerely Salvador
Brooklyn, NY | Two Year Pathway
Undergraduate Institution: University at Albany
Pronouns: She/Her/Herself
Social Work found me during my second semester of undergraduate. I remember being that young girl of color surrounded by a system of acceptance and denial. When I applied to NYU, I knew this would be my home forever. From amazing faculty members, to amazing classmates, all shaping my growth as a social worker. The professors I have had are key to my understanding of concept, theory, and framework of social work and they all care for my success. My experience was more than I can ever imagined and I am truly grateful for the everlasting network I have acquired here at NYU! Email Yamerely
