Goals And Activities
My work experience involves problem-solving and being able to think on my feet. I can be overzealous, especially about things that I care dearly for. I plan to become a licensed clinical social worker; my goals are to work with veterans to integrate mental health in everyday life and provide the Veteran with resources needed. My vision is to be a helpful and productive member of society, finding employment and getting paid to do what I love is the goal. My husband and I have three teenagers, we enjoy hiking, going to the beach, and road-tripping.
