Smith received her bachelor’s degree in human services from Sinte Gleska University in Mission, SD. In 2020, she graduated with a master’s degree in social work from University of South Dakota in Vermillion.

“Growing up and living in a small, rural town in South Dakota my whole life, I understand the geographical boundaries to get quality health care,” said Smith. “I look forward to working with Horizon to remove some of these boundaries to obtain quality mental health services.
