While healthcare workers were tending to #covid19 patients, many other #essentialworkers were holding down a different front line: the grocery stores. “I switched from part-time to full-time at Trader Joe’s pretty much overnight,” says Deirdre Nedder, who is completing her master’s degree in #socialwork at RIC. A full-time student, Nedder decided to stay at her job despite the risk to provide food for others. “I felt scared and unsure if I should be working,” she says. “I came to the simple answer that people need to eat and I can provide that service.” . . . #RICnews #experienceRIC #RICspirit #humansofRIC #rhodeislandcollege #traderjoes #everydayheroes #msw #mswstudent #socialworker
