I am a highly motivated graduate with a strong background in social work, committed to serving diverse communities.

I am actively seeking a challenging position as a social worker where I can apply my empathetic approach, cultural competence, and advocacy skills.
Throughout my experience as a student social worker at Ramot Treatment Centre, I have cultivated robust client relationships and collaborated effectively with multidisciplinary teams. I specialize in conducting both individual and group counseling sessions, utilizing Motivational Interviewing as my primary intervention technique.
