After serving as a program coordinator for over four years, Tausoa ‘Soa’ Mulitalo recognized the need to deepen her understanding, skills, and abilities in addressing mental health issues among vulnerable populations. This led her to apply and gain acceptance into the advanced standing master’s program in Social Work at the University of Utah, where she focused her studies in mental health. Soa successfully graduated in Spring 2024 and continues to make significant contributions to the field of social work as both a program coordinator and a certified social worker. She is passionate about working with children and youth, helping them develop the skills to improve their lives, advocate for themselves, and navigate through challenges. Dedicated to her clients and to lifelong learning, Soa continually seeks training to better address trauma through a client-centered and empowerment-focused approach in her practice.
