STEPHANIE CRIDER Editor in Chief Jill PalmerBe the changeyou wish to see in the world. —Gandhi Jill Palmer was diagnosed with dyslexia and a processing disorder when she was in elementary school. This disorder made learning difficult, but with the love and support of her family and community, she overcame these challenges. She credits her upbringing with setting her up for success. “I grew up with a sense of safety and community and the mentality that if you work hard, you can achieve goals and solve problems,” Palmer said. And that's what she did. Today, neither of these issues impacts her. She's a Navy veteran and a doctoral candidate at the University of Tennessee, where she is focusing on evidence-based practices, leadership and research. And, as of this summer, she’s the director of the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Cape Fear Valley. It wasn't until she attended college that Palmer realized how lucky she was. “I met a bunch of people who had different backgrounds and upbringings,” Palmer said. “I remember going to New York City with a friend and seeing a skyscraper living complex and thinking to myself that more people lived there than in the five towns near where I grew up in Randolph, Vermont. And it hit me – no wonder there's so much struggle and poverty in this world. It helped me see that the world was not perfect. I struggled within a supportive community, but not everyone has that. I saw then that I needed to go into social work because it would give me options to work with all kinds of people.”1212NONVOEVMEBMEBRE2R0217017
