been passionate about! I want to empower people to grow, navigate challenges, and
make meaningful change in their lives.
My name is Ella, and I am persuing being a social worker because I want to have fun
and feel authentic joy, passion and motivation at work every day!I am excited to be
an Reslife Intern because I think that community is the most uplifting resource and
sometimes you just need someone to remind you that you’ve totally got this, and everythingis
going to work out just fine.
Hello! My name is Haley, and I recently graduated from ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ with
my B.A. in Psychology. I have chosen social work as my career because of the holistic
approach it takes to improving well-being. I have seen for myself the positive impacts
social workers have, and I want to join a workforce dedicated to supporting and advocating
for individuals who have been marginalized.
I chose social work because I’m passionate about creating equitable access to resources
and support for all individuals. I believe that social work allows individuals to
combine the power of empathy and compassion to drive meaningful change and help others
thrive.
I chose social work because I have always felt a deep satisfaction when helping others
in any capacity. This field allows me to explore this passion without any limits,
I am able to help individuals socially and emotionally across different types of settings.
I am super excited to become an efficient, reliable, and experienced social worker!
I chose to pursue social work because I’m passionate about helping people access the
support they need and deserve, especially those who struggle to advocate for themselves.
I want to be someone who helps others work through life’s challenges and feel a little
more supported along the way.
I chose to pursue my degree in social work because I've always been interested in
the nuances and complexities of feelings and experiences. I love talking with people
and figuring out solutions to tough problems!
I decided to pursue social work because I want to help bring awareness to the mental
health resources available to the community. I am hoping to practice clinical counseling
with the adolescent population with a specialization in trauma or grief.
I am pursuing a career in social work because I am passionate about helping others.
My passion has also been shaped by the opportunity to work alongside many amazing
social workers

Wellness Mantra: Balance is key. It's okay to feel stressed sometimes—it's a part of life. We all
overthink or feel overwhelmed at times, both physically and emotionally. What matters
most is finding a balance: getting things done while also allowing yourself time to
rest. Taking breaks is not only okay, it's necessary.

to be perfect—so finding balance in understanding your physical and mental boundaries
is crucial to being kind to ourselves.â€
