bio
Sandy Speier earned her MSW from Adelphi University, and has worked in a range of academic, field, and management positions throughout her impressive career. In 2006 she "retired" from her position as Associate Director of Social Work and Coordinator of Student Education at New York State Psychiatric Institute to start a new chapter in her career at NYU as Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Field Learning and Community Partnerships.
Since 2002, Ms. Speier has been teaching two courses at the School of Social Work: Clinical Practice with Groups, and Issues in Contemporary Families. In addition, she has assumed responsibility for the Coordination of the SIFI (Seminar In Field Instruction). In this capacity, she hopes to further enhance the Field Education of Social Work Interns.
Ms. Speier describes her work with interns as one of the most meaningful parts of her professional life - having the opportunity to teach, train and mentor future professionals.
