McKayla Dodrill
@mckayladodrill
School social worker and MSW candidate focused on improving attendance, safety, and family outcomes through case management.
What I'm looking for
I’m a school social worker with a Master of Social Work and hands-on experience supporting youth and families across education, courts, and residential treatment settings. In my current role, I maintain students’ attendance data and partner with families through in-person meetings to help improve attendance outcomes.
Across prior positions as a Youth Service Worker and roles within Burlington United Methodist Family Services, I developed case plans, completed social assessments, prepared reports, and coordinated services including out-of-home care options. I also provided mentoring, wraparound facilitation, residential therapy support, documentation, and billing—bringing a strength-based, safety-focused approach to every case.
