About (request update)

I am a rising junior majoring in Social Work with a strong interest in supporting individuals, children, and families through advocacy and community-based services. Over the past several years, I have gained hands-on experience working in environments centered on service and care. I worked in a daycare setting supporting children, completed summer employment at Roseland Community Hospital in the Human Resources Department, and this year will continue expanding my experience through Nursing Administration while working alongside Substance Use Navigators and Social Workers. In addition, I am completing an internship at my former high school, Thornton Fractional North, where I work weekly with the school social worker and psychologist. While attending school, I also work at Urban air.

Current Whereabouts:

I am currently focused on pursuing my Social Work degree while gaining practical experience through healthcare, educational, and community-based environments. I enjoy opportunities that allow me to work with children, support families, and learn more about behavioral health and advocacy. Outside of school, I balance academics with employment and continue building skills through internships and service experiences.

Life & Professional Aspirations:

My goal is to build a career in Social Work where I can support individuals and families through advocacy, behavioral health services, and community engagement. Through my experiences in healthcare, education, and youth-centered environments, I have developed a passion for helping others navigate challenges and access resources. I aspire to continue my education and create a meaningful impact in the communities I serve

Claim To Fame:

My claim to fame is my consistency and determination. I have maintained Dean�s List status for the last two semesters while pursuing a degree in Social Work because I am committed to building a career centered on helping others. I may not have the longest list of extracurricular activities, but I take pride in showing up, staying disciplined, and continuing to perform academically while preparing for a career of impact.

Most Memorable Moment:

One of my most memorable moments in college was earning Dean�s List recognition and realizing that my hard work and consistency were paying off. Seeing my name recognized academically reminded me that I was capable of succeeding at the college level and motivated me to continue striving for excellence.
