Currently I work in child welfare where we go into the homes of families that have special needs children, children with behavioral issues, or abused children. We teach the children daily living skills, social skills, cognitive behavior therapy, etc. We also coach the families and help them stay together in the home as a family. For my field placement internship my senior year, I hope to intern at a Child Protective Agency within a local county. My end goal is to run a Domestic Abuse shelter that caters to women who have survived Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). I want to run a full-service organization that helps these women in everything from leaving their spouse, getting restraining orders, filing for divorce, etc. to a place to live to start to rebuild their lives, to classes they can take like money management, child rearing, and more.

After I earn my bachelor degree, I plan on pursuing a master degree in social work from UW-Whitewater. I will have advance standing in the degree program and will have an expedited path to graduation.
