Hello, and welcome to my website! My name is Samantha Wolfe-Taylor and I am a Ph.D. candidate and a licensed clinical social worker. I am an advocate by nature; medical social worker by training and professional experience; telebehavioral health and online education researcher, online course developer, and e-social work education and practice innovator. As an educator, I strive to create online learning environments and practice opportunities that are highly interactive, creative, engaging and applicable. As a medical social worker, I believe in the importance of taking a holistic approach to medical care while taking into consideration the systemic, psychosocial and spiritual dynamics that may affect a person's ability to effectively complete the continuum of care with their healthcare provider. Within this portfolio you will find my teaching philosophy, experience and achievements. Provided below is a list of my research interests in higher education and practice. Thank you for taking the time to review my portfolio and to get to know me a little bit more!
