Meet AJ Tiffany: The Veteran Serving His Community After Serving His Country
When AJ Tiffany left the force, he knew his time serving others wasn't finished. He just needed to find an outlet that allowed him to continue making a difference in the lives of those around him.
Tiffany pursued social work because he knew it would help him create change in various ways. Whether he wanted to conduct one-on-one therapy sessions someday, or promote community-impacting policy change, social work would provide him with the skill set to choose his path.
As a veteran, Tiffany says that dedication to service is his most valuable transferable skill. He stands alongside a large cohort of veteran students at Fordham GSS, shaping that inherent selflessness into a profession that needs them more than ever.
