Anterior Cruciate Ligaments
By Alexis Jenkins
Alexis Jenkins definitely is very active from the start. Sports have always been her passion; growing up, you could always catch her outside at the softball field playing with her high school, tournament team, or family. This all was until she had an almost career-ending injury occur not just once but twice. Luckily, she could continue to play two years of college softball, but she always wondered why tearing your ACL, also known as your Anterior Cruciate Ligament, was such a big deal. Now years later, she is a Senior here at Millersville studying Sports Journalism. After graduation, she plans to work her way into the ESPN world to eventually become an ESPN Broadcast Journalist.

After graduation, she will attend the MSW program at Millersville University and continue working toward a career in macro social work where she hopes to work in research, policy, and advocacy. Evelyn decided to explore the child welfare workforce shortage after hearing growing concerns from service providers throughout Pennsylvania at her internship with PCCYFS. With a passion for improving systems, Evelyn hopes that researching this issue and its impacts will serve as a steppingstone toward finding solutions and reducing the shortage of child welfare workers in Pennsylvania.
