Alumni Profile
Jamie Vo, ’21
Master of Social Work
College of Arts and Sciences
Jamie Vo, ’21 MSW, has been interested in understanding and helping people for as long as she can remember. As an undergraduate at Seattle University, she earned a double major in Psychology and Criminal Justice, graduating in 2019. She later returned to complete a Master of Social Work.
Throughout her graduate career, Jamie felt she still had a lot to learn. “As an undergraduate, I had a nebulous idea of what social justice meant. I could understand it conceptually, but I did not know what it looked like. Over time, and through my graduate program, I was able to define it for myself and see what it looks like in my field.”
