Philosophy

My philosophy of social work is grounded on concepts of social justice, empowerment, and equal access to all societal members.

 Self-care

As a professional social worker I commit to engaging in a lifestyle in which self-care is embedded into my routine. I will be taking care of my wellbeing by staying consistent with my spiritual life daily which for me is a source strength and rejuvenation. I also commit to seeing a therapist myself in order to grow emotionally and mentally. I will practice self-care by working out at least 4 times a week whether it is going to the gym, running outside, or playing tennis with friend. In addition,  it is important that I maintain a well-balanced and nutritionally dense diet.
