Summary
I am a first-year Master’s student at Rutgers University in New Brunswick studying social work. Social work has solidified my interest in helping those in disadvantaged communities. My passion for this field of work has grown immensely as I progress through my master's education. Each individual I have served in this field has a unique story that allows me to reflect on why I chose to study social work daily. I have gained specialized skills in client assessment, case management, and crisis intervention. Excel in communication, empathy, and problem-solving to support individuals and communities effectively.
