Social Work is something I have always been interested in, especially working with people who need help navigate through the systems to get the help they need. Helping people overcome obstacles and difficulties and making the most of themselves is a very rewarding yet challenging career. I believe that my education and experience working with the homeless population and navigating them from living unsheltered to being housed and then wrap around care has given me the experience I need to full fill this position.
