What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals and families, fostering a positive impact in the community while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated and compassionate Social Work graduate from South Carolina State University, where I achieved a 3.76 GPA. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in social work principles and practices, and I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of individuals and families. I have developed strong communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills through various roles, including my internship at the High School for Health Professions, where I provided counseling and support to students facing behavioral and mental health challenges.

In my professional experience, I have worked in diverse environments, from fast-paced restaurants to social services. As a Foster Care Case Manager, I manage caseloads to ensure the safety and well-being of children, conducting in-home visits and facilitating family connections. My ability to adapt and collaborate with others has been crucial in my roles, allowing me to effectively address the needs of those I serve. I am committed to continuous learning and growth in my career, seeking opportunities that align with my values and passion for helping others.
