Summary
As an undergraduate student pursuing a BA in Social Geriatrics, I am passionate about positively impacting the often-underserved older population. Through my coursework and hands-on experiences, I have gained a greater understanding of the challenges faced by older adults and the importance of providing compassionate, quality care and support. I am committed to continuing my work in this field and am eager to contribute to the betterment of the lives of seniors through the joint BA/MSW program. This program will allow me to expand my knowledge, further develop my skills, and better advocate for the well-being of this population.
