“My advice is to understand yourself and work towards understanding your strengths and what you struggle with. To be a great social worker your use of self is important.”

“Follow your passion always. If you keep doing what you love, you'll end up doing what you love. ”

“Find something that you're really passionate about and let that passion keep you going even when it gets hard or there are some failures. Experience comes from building as you go and trying new things. Sometimes it doesn't work out, and that's okay!”

“Lean on mentors and peers as you grow in your career. You don't have to do it alone!”

“Be prepared to stand your ground and speak truth to power. There is still a lot of stigma out there that affects peers and the work we do.”

“My advice is to be curious, be ready to learn with an open mind and become a model of what you want for others. ”
