Goals and interests

Career goal

I intend to continue school until I graduate with my Masters in Social Work. I want to help people in any way I can. Being in the field that I currently am in, which is at a Domestic Violence Shelter, I have seen and heard of things that not everyone wants to hear. I have seen the need for vulnerable people and children needing others to help them. I want to continue aiding to people and children.

Outside the classroom

I enjoy many hobbies. I love to craft. Whether it is scrap-booking, making wreaths, etc. I love to cook and bake. I enjoy making homemade pasta, homemade bread, and making cakes, cookies, pies, etc. from scratch. I love to conquer recipes and sometimes make them my own. I also enjoy golfing. I played golf in high school and was on the Varsity team since my 8th grade year. I also like to spend time with my french bulldog puppy named Maverick. Me and my boyfriend take him every where with us. We enjoy traveling and being outdoors. We often drive our side by side near the local rivers,lakes, and mountains on our weekends and enjoy nature.
