Hattie is a licensed social worker with a background in trauma focused treatment, direct practice, relationship concerns, and addiction. She earned her B.A. from West Virginia University with a double major in Psychology and Women & Gender Studies. Hattie then completed her Master of Social Work from Pitt. During her years of work as a drug and alcohol therapist, Hattie became passionate about reducing the negative impacts associated with unaddressed trauma. She decided to transition into Advocacy work and is now one of our first Care Advocates at Pitt. Hattie hopes to use her knowledge of trauma focused care in helping students who have experienced identity-based harassment, discrimination, and misconduct with navigating systems within the University.
