Career & Self Care Plan

One year Plan

My one-year plan consists of working in my new position as a Program Specialist at the Chattanooga Housing Authority.  During this time, I also plan on getting my LMSW licensure as well as taking continuing education courses, and possibly continuing in research as well.

five year plan

My five-year plan consists of much of the same, with the exception of possibly working toward getting a doctorate, most likely a Ph.D. I am not quite sure under which discipline yet, and a lot also depends how my career is going at the time as well.  I would also be open to mentorship during this time such as being a field instructor and gaining some teaching experience as an adjunct professor.

ten year plan

My ten-year plan would consist of further leadership roles at whichever career position that I may be at during this time.  I would also like to have substantially grown my research and publications experience.

self-care plan

  • Take regular vacations
  • Spend the weekends with my family, and away from work
  • Get adequate rest and sleep
  • Continuously learn new things
  • Don’t feel guilty treating myself when I have been working hard
  • Stay in regular contact with friends and extended family
  • Surround myself with beautiful things
