Philosophy
My philosophy of social work is based on equal opportunity to everyone, empowerment, and social justice. I believe it is important to advocate for everyone and that everyone’s voice should be heard.
Self-care
As a professional social worker, I want to include self-care as part of my routine. Self-care is quite important for my own life as to others. I will complete this by keeping myself on a consistent schedule. I will have a weekly exercise log that I will partake in at least five times a week. It will include: weight lifting, running, kickboxing, and even dancing! I also plan to use music as another form of self-care. Music has always helped me in the best and most difficult situations. Lastly, I also plan to maintain a great relationship with God by doing devotions and make sure I am eating healthy so I can have the right energy and focus at all times.
