SOCIAL WORK KHULUMA | S2 | EP8 | KIM SCHMIDT

Welcome to another episode of the Social Work Khuluma Podcast. Thank you to everyone who is listening and we hope that you’ve learnt something about social work that you may have not known before. My name is Spha Mathebula and today, I am excited to be joined by Dr. Kim Schmidt. A passionate practitioner who’s professional journey in the field of social work began when she spent ten years working directly with children and families. Her passion for social justice, particularly concerning the maltreatment of children, led her to pursue higher education. She completed her Master's degree and later returned to academia to further her studies. Currently, she coordinates the first-year social work program at UFH, focusing on supporting and inspiring students as they adjust to academic life. Additionally, she oversees work-integrated learning opportunities within the University Capacity Development Project.
