Instructor: Jennifer Tranquille
Jennifer Tranquille came of age in a Queens, New York, working-class Afro-American and Afro-Caribbean family that values education, hard work, and resilience. The deep roots of her upbringing originally prompted her to follow in her mother’s footsteps, pursuing a career as an elementary school teacher to support community rehabilitation and enrich the lives of others. Introduced to the field of social work in her freshman year of college, however, Jennifer’s empathy and lived experience attracted her to the potential the field offered to support and empower underserved and marginalized populations in a more holistic way—meeting not only individuals’ educational needs but also their environmental, medical, and psychological needs, among others.
She went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in social work from York College/CUNY, a master’s degree in the same field from SUNY/Stony Brook University, and licensure as a master-level clinical social worker. She also completed SIFI training, which qualifies her to supervise social work student interns. Jennifer has experience in child welfare, domestic violence, adult habilitation, perinatal mental health, and other areas in a variety of social service agencies and healthcare programs. She is well-versed in treatment planning, psychotherapy, care coordination, program and policy development, clinical supervision, and program management. Jennifer combines her heightened sense of situational awareness with a breadth and depth of knowledge and skills to support and guide individuals to create healthy, fulfilling lives. In her own life, Jennifer enjoys spending time in nature, volunteering at her church to serve others, traveling, and spirited game nights with family and friends.
