An advanced standing master’s in social work student from the University of Pennsylvania, Jessica Ramos is delighted to intern with the Interfaith Philadelphia team. With experience in youth casework, advocacy, and medical social work, Jessica is excited to transition to macro social work within a non-profit environment. Jessica is interested in the end-to-end lifecycle of public policy, educational outreach initiatives, grant writing, securing grant funding, and learning about legislative change to enact policies that benefit the community. She hopes to use her clinical, macro, and Interfaith experience to work alongside communities and organizations to support an environment of inclusion, understanding, and diversity. Outside of school, Jessica enjoys staying active, exploring Philadelphia, and spending time with her loved ones.
