Why did you become a social worker? What do you like about working in VHA homeless programs?
I became a social worker because I wanted to help people. I was glad to join VA and always wanted to work with Veterans. The homeless programs were of interest to me because it gave me a chance to work with Veterans in need
I believe it is the right time for societal change in light of the events occurring over the past two years. Social workers have a unique opportunity to encourage and advocate for social justice and change
