Additional Information
During my extended absence from the workforce to manage personal and family affairs, I have stayed abreast of topics in the area of aging as well as older adults and the various challenges they can face as they age. I have also continued furthering my knowledge about older adults in the field of aging, by watching webinars, Ted-Talks as well as attending certain conferences and topics relevant to older adults. I gained this knowledge through the National Association of Social Worker. (NASW)
