Goals and interests

Career goal

I want to be a well rounded social worker. Therefore, while employed at Wilson County Department of Social Services, I plan to learn and work hands-on with "seasoned" social workers to gain use more social work practice knowledge in particular areas. Eventually, I plan to become a supervisor within 3 to 5 years after obtaining my Master of Social Work Degree.

Currently I am interested in working with at-risk youth and their families. I am also interested in working with disabled adults.
