Julie Skoretz

MSW (Student)

I am a Master of Social Work student at King’s University College. I entered graduate school later in life after having practised as a Health Law lawyer. I have found my life purpose in social work! I am a lifelong learner, driven by curiosity and connecting with others. I am passionate about holistic cancer healing that optimizes each client’s emotional, physical, and spiritual wellness. The EIR Centre is a perfect match for my values! I am honoured to support individuals in managing cancer while living meaningfully. My experiences in crisis response services, palliative care, and homeless shelter counselling have taught me how to provide support to others in challenging circumstances and listen attentively with compassion. After graduation, I hope to work as a medical social worker who supports individuals experiencing life-altering or life-ending illnesses and conditions. Outside of school, I maintain balance by hiking, cycling, practicing yoga, and playing pickleball with my children.
