PERSONAL STATEMENT

I'm pursuing a career in social work because I'm passionate about helping clients. I've enjoyed serving as a treatment detox resident, a caseworker, and a counsellor for mental health recovery. I excel in both group settings and team environments. I also love working with children, a focus of my Bachelor’s degree. I am committed to continuing education throughout my life. I'm currently working toward a Master’s degree in social work.
