About
I am a student at the University of Southern Mississippi. I'm studying social work and I'd like to work with kids someday. I'm interested in mental health or adoption. I was heavily influenced by social workers when I was a child and I want to carry that forward. When a child is being maltreated, awareness of resiliency from a person who has endured similar trauma can be very influential to that child.
