Carly Fishman, MSW, LCSW
Hi, I'm Carly! I graduated from Kent State University in 2014 with a degree in Sign Language Interpreting. I spent 6 years at the John Powers Center as a Paraprofessional, Substitute Teacher, & Sign Language Interpreter prior to going back to school for my MSW. I received a Master's degree in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago in 2020 and came right back to Powers to be the Social Worker for the DHH Program!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
