A personal goal for me is to be present, to show whomever I am with that they are important and valued. A professional goal is the same and a continuation is to empower people I work with while understanding the big picture.

My personal value is always having a growth-mindset. Life is full of opportunities and I think it is important to find where growth can occur within yourself.

My professional goal is to maintain positivity and encourage growth of those I work with. I think it is important to not only be a source of guidance, but also a radiance of light to clients or individuals who may feel in the dark. I also think it is important to encourage clients to help others grow and find the ways they can expand their knowledge and sense of self throughout life’s challenges.

Personally, I strive to be a lifelong learner and deeply value education. As a social worker, I approach my job with a sense of curiosity and try to learn as much as possible. Above is a photo that I believe embodies my pursuit to be a lifelong learner. It was taken this past spring at my doctoral hooding ceremony -- it was an accomplishment that I was very proud to celebrate with a couple of my fellow cohort members!

In practice, I try to provide a safe, therapeutic holding environment for my students and clients. I think that it is important to meet the client wherever s/he/they are at and follow their lead. I believe that this approach to clinical practice aligns well with the NASW's Code of Ethics and promotes my clients' right to self-determination. While promoting the dignity and worth of my clients, I strive to engage individuals, families, and groups of people in productive, insightful, and introspective dialogues that cultivate their feelings of self-efficacy and personal awareness.

I truly appreciate the opportunity to come to your class and I look forward to learning more about you! Please feel free to add your own note about your personal values, professional aspirations, and inspiration for getting to the diverse and complex field of social work. It will be nice to learn from, and inspire each other!
