I really like working on the high school level. I love working with the teenagers and having that time with them. Many times teachers can see when there’s an issue, but they don’t have the resources or time to fill in that gap. I feel like I can make a difference, and it makes me feel good at the end of the day.
I run the Holiday Connection program in the district. I connect children with sponsors at Christmastime. I feel really proud of that. I’ve been able to connect over 300 kids with sponsors. I make the connection between outside sources, such as businesses, school departments and clubs that want to sponsor a kid. The fall is very exciting for me.
I fell in love with social work during my college internship. I really enjoy the one-on-one connection I make with people. I get a lot of hugs!
