My Social Work Goals

The Masters of Social Work will give me the skills to effectively assess the victims and learn how to best be of assistance. Learning the techniques to aid those in difficult situations is my primary goal in social work. I hope to be able to reach out to people and offer them a safe and encouraging place to turn and seek advice, as well as learn to identify problems from afar. The School of Social Work will also help me learn to properly follow-up on cases since it is essential to make sure those involved are able to do their duty to keep themselves and others safe, progressing, or involved. Additionally, a dual Master of Arts in International Studies will help prepare me for various international politics, relations, and ethics I will encounter abroad.

I aim to work and be associated with organizations like Women’s Commission for Refugee Women and Children, Amnesty International, and the Polaris Project. All would allow me to be involved with various human right issues such as refugees, trafficking, and slavery. In the preamble to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, it is written, “recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.” I want to honor those rights. The best way and next step for me to do so is with a master’s degree in Social Work.
