Goals and interests

Career goal

I have been working in the mental health field for eight years and previously worked for 12 years in the wireless world in sales and marketing. The last few years I worked in the wireless world I sold and marketed cellular towers sites in the eastern part of the United States. I hope to incorporate my marketing/sales skills with my MSW degree to possibly work for an international organization that would take advantage of these unique skills.

Graduate school interests

I am interested in completing my MSW and then pursuing my LCSW in order to obtain the license and clinical skills needed in many large organizations. I am also very interested the Red Cross and other disaster organizations to become a member of teams that assist the natural disaster populations.
