Elizabeth “Liz” Franchot is a dual degree MSW and MPH
student graduating in December 2015. Liz is concentrating in Clinical Social
Work and Health Promotion and Behavior in Public Health. In 2011 Liz completed
her Bachelor’s of Social Work at UGA. During her undergraduate studies Liz
became more interested in health education and prevention. She studied with the
Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2012 and is a Certified Health Coach. In
2012 Liz began working for the Athens Health Network as a facilitator of the
community health partner program. Liz has a passion for healthy living and
wanted to bring this into her Social Work practice.
In 2013 Liz enrolled for her MSW at UGA. During her first
semester she took Medical Social Work with Dr. Tiffany Washington. This class
inspired her to pursue her MPH in the dual degree track. Liz is currently
interning at the Ridgeview Institute in Smyrna, Georgia and is working directly
with addiction patients in helping them achieve recovery.
In Spring of 2014, Liz secured a graduate assistantship with
the UGA Graduate School where she helps answers phone calls and does
administrative work at the front desk. Liz describes this as a rewarding
experience to help students from the admissions and enrollment process through
their graduate school career. She is excited it will be her turn to graduate
this fall. Liz is applying to hospitals and clinics to be a Medical Social
Worker.
Liz has been an active member of the Athens community for
many years now. She worked for a local fresh juice shop, Journey Juice, for 2
years where she shared the great taste and nutritional benefits of fresh juice
through “health talks” around Athens. Liz has also enjoyed being a part of the
Athens Symphony Chorus, UGA Triathlon Club, West Broad Farmers Market and
member of Classic City Church.
