What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to advocate for clients and make a meaningful impact in their lives.

I am a dedicated Licensed Social Worker with a Master of Social Work and a proven track record in patient care. My journey in social work has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for helping others. I have held various leadership roles, including President of the Association of Student Social Work, where I honed my organizational and prioritization skills.

Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience in family services, working with the MS Organ Recovery Agency as a Manager and Supervisor. My roles have allowed me to develop strong relationships with families and provide them with the support they need during challenging times. I am proud to have received multiple honors, including the Senior Social Work Award and recognition as a Cum Laude Graduate.

As I continue to grow in my profession, I remain committed to advocating for my clients and improving their quality of life. I am eager to contribute my skills and experience to a team that values compassion and excellence in social work.
