Why did you become a social worker? What do you like about working in VHA homeless programs?
I always knew that I wanted to be in a helping profession, but I did not know in what capacity. I chose social work because I wasn’t limited in the way I could be of service. I chose VA because I wasn’t pleased with the level of care I received as a Veteran and wanted to make a change. I think a lot of people underestimate social workers and what we do, and don’t realize that it takes a special person to be a social worker because of the type of assistance we provide.
What else would you like to share about yourself?
Listening to podcasts, streaming my favorite shows, pampering myself, and spending time with family and friends.
My favorite quote is: “Change is inevitable, growth is optional” — John C. Maxwell
