Summary
I am a driven, hard-working, non-traditional student graduated with an associates degree. My long-term educational goals include completing a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in social work, with the intention of becoming a licensed micro-level practitioner. I have a variety of experiences professionally and academically that will serve as strengths in my future academic and professional pursuits. My time at Ivy Tech included two full semester internships in the field and specialized coursework in addictions. Additionally, I spent much of this time working in a helping role as a Certified Recovery Specialist.
