Learning to Love Social Work with April Byrd

April Byrd is a lifelong North Carolinian. She grew up in Shelby, North Carolina. Most of her family lived nearby and she still has contact with her friends that she met during preschool. April absolutely adores Shelby’s small but tight community that’s like a family to her.

She also attended Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. April didn’t exactly know what to do for her future career, but she did end up as a social worker because of her desire to go into some sort of helping profession. She eventually got into an Intro to social work course on her freshman year and she fell in love with it.

How was April’s experience in social work?

What did she learn from her years of service? What was the best advice April has ever gotten?

Tune in to the State Lobbying Heroes Podcast as April Byrd talks about her life experiences and all the knowledge she gathered throughout it!
