There has always been a fire and passion inside of me for helping people. From a young age it was all I wanted to do, whenever someone was upset I wanted to by there side and as I've grown up that hasn't changed. Throughout my life I also struggled with my own issues with anxiety and depression which only strengthened my passion to help people. I wanted people like me to have someone to have as a support system. So by the age of about thirteen I decided when I went to college I would major in psychology so I could better the lives of as many people as possible. Little did I know that by the end of my freshmen year of college I would decide wholeheartedly to major in social work instead.

I'm a fixer. I always have been and always will be. Nothing intrigues me more than people’s emotions and back stories. I want to know exactly how someone got to where they are in life, what lead them there, what heartbreaking thing changed their life. If given the chance would they go back in time and just redo their life all together. I find this stuff way more intriguing and important than most. It’s because I don’t see the world as black and white, I live in the gray. Nothing is black and white in my opinion. Since I live in the gray and don’t believe in the black and white version of things it gives me a real gift to help people.

I also see the good in everyone, even in the worst people. The combination of being a fixer and seeing the good in every single person is a blessing a curse to have. When it comes to my personal life it makes things harder because I find it hard to leave people in my life because I know the person they can be and focus on that. But it’s a blessing because sometimes I can help make a significant difference in someone’s life which means everything to me. In my professional life being a fixer and someone who sees the good in everyone will be the biggest blessing.

Everything about my personality screams social worker and once I took one social work class I was hooked. I had found my calling and I haven’t looked back ever since. At the end of the day, you have to choose the major that you love and that you think you can be the most successful in. And that’s why I choose social work.
