About

My background in Business (Bachelors of Science in Business Administration) combined with my Masters in Social Work seem to be a complimentary skill set. I am excited to combine my organizational and development skills with my sense of compassion and advocacy. I am highly interested and educated in the areas of addiction, high-risk youth intervention, high school social work roles, as well as, clinical social work roles. I am excited to begin a career in which I can serve as a client advocate, implement new programs, create awareness for services, and counsel clients through evidence-based methodologies. The classroom experience I have gained combined with my growth through various internship experiences, have allowed me to experience clinical, organizational, family, and system social work systems. My ethics and integrity are primary sources of my internal and external professionalism. I am ready to join an amazing team, and will bring all my energy, ethics, integrity and compassion, as I begin my career in social work.
