Goals and interests

Career goal

My intended job path in Human Services is case management. I plan to work directly with individuals and families by assessing their needs, developing service plans, and connecting them with community resources.

This career path allows me to build meaningful relationships while making a lasting impact through guidance, coordination, and compassionate care.

Human Services, improve my effectiveness as a case manager or school counselor, and open doors to leadership and advanced career opportunities.
