Summary

I'm a compassionate BSW graduate with strong values, and as a social worker, I commit to supporting the well-being of older adults. I have experience in community-based service, including food assistance and classroom support, with transferable skills in client engagement, advocacy, and service coordination. I am eager to apply my knowledge of aging, healthcare systems, and psychosocial support to promote dignity, independence, and quality of life for the elderly in community.
