Lukos welcomes Marlene Lemons to the Wolfpack! Marlene supports our NSW-MSOFS contract as a Force Project Manager/Data Analyst. She shared the following about herself, "I am a Navy Veteran Navy career counselor, who spent the last 15 years within Naval Special Warfare Community and retired after 23 years of active duty. Currently as a Clinical Social Worker Candidate, I’ve done my clinical internship at Chula Vista Police Department as a Domestic Violence counselor in the Domestic Violence Unit and another 12 months at San Diego Unified School District as a Suicide Prevention & Intervention Counselor. During my internship at CVPD, the protocol was to focus on reaching out to victims, helping them stop the violence, and breaking the cycle of abuse by providing them with resources like legal, shelter, and counseling resources. During my time at San Diego District school, we screened and educated students about suicide and made them feel safe to talk; it is without a doubt that despite more mental health initiatives in schools, so many students are failing and therefore fall through the cracks. As a professional in the mental health field, there is more to be done. I have a passion for my profession, I know that everything that I have learned intercorrelate with this position, and I also hope that I will make a great impact on the SOF community and their families in this role as a SAPR, ADCO force manager. The love for my family is unquestionable, I enjoy swimming and running."  Welcome to the Wolfpack, Marlene! #nsw #sof #navy #veterans #veteranjobs #mentalhealthjobs #welcome
