Dr. Bulanda has social work practice experience in a variety of settings, including child welfare, mental health, school social work, youth empowerment, private practice, clinical supervision, and international social work. Additionally, he served as a Fulbright Scholar in Sierra Leone, Africa in 2013-2014. During that time, he taught the first cohort of social work students at the University of Sierra Leone, conducted research on the mental health needs of university students in Sierra Leone, and started a community-based organization, the Pikin Padi Network. He continues his work in Sierra Leone as he serves as Executive Director of the Pikin Padi Network, has evaluated programs designed to address the psychosocial needs of Sierra Leoneans affected by Ebola, and was awarded a grant to start a library, which will serve as a community center for the rural village of Adonkia. Overall, he is particularly interested in empowering marginalized populations through education and opportunities to engage in activism and community service as well as using participatory action research to promote social change.
