I recently received my Bachelor of Social Work with a concentration in crisis and trauma from Carlow University. I have been working with children on and off for the past 5+ years. I started out watching my younger family members, which eventually led me to my current full-time position as a Teacher/Counselor in a childrens program at Passavant Memorial Homes. I began working with children because their minds are still very much impressionable. I believe that the qualities and traits that I possess (empathy, compassion, patience) reflect directly into my work and into the lives of the children I work with. This has been my most rewarding position to date. I currently work with 4 adolescent girls that range in age from 15-19 and I specialize in behavioral and mental health. Watching them grow into young adults and being apart of their transition back into society has been simply amazing. I am able to teach, counsel, guide and assist with everyday stressors that could cause them to revert back to previously damaging behaviors. Now that I have obtained my BSW I will be able and that much more qualified to continue to do exceptional work with the children and parents I come into contact with who need a helping hand.
