My passion for helping others and my appreciation for human relationships is what has led me into the field of social work. I believe that my empathetic, nurturing, and kind demeanor will take me far in this field. I enjoy listening to people’s stories and yearn to make human connections. I am always willing to expand my knowledge and realize that there is always room for improvement. I am friendly and get along easily with others.
