Welcome to my Career Canvas, a comprehensive portfolio that meticulously outlines my professional journey and aspirations in the field of social work. This canvas is not just a collection of documents; it's a reflection of my dedication, skills, and vision as a social work professional aiming to achieve the Licensed Independent Social Worker with Supervision (LISW-S) designation.
Contained within, you'll find my resume, my educational background, my professional experiences, and the diverse skills I've honed over the years. Each role and responsibility I've undertaken is a testament to my commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve.
Accompanying my resume is my cover letter, a personal narrative that tells of my professional experiences and my passion for social work. It offers a deeper insight into my motivations, my approach to challenges, and how I envision contributing to this field.
Furthermore, there is a reference letter. This individual has not only witnessed my professional growth but has also played pivotal roles in shaping my career. His endorsement speaks volumes about my capabilities and character as a social worker.
Lastly, this canvas includes my detailed licensure plan for obtaining the LISW-S and LICDC-S credentials. This plan is a roadmap for my ongoing commitment to advanced professional development, adherence to ethical standards, and the pursuit of supervisory competencies essential in social work.
I invite you to explore this canvas to understand not just my professional qualifications but also my dedication to a career that seeks to empower, advocate, and bring about positive change in our community.
I plan on obtaining my bachelor's in social work and then earning the licensed social worker (LSW) credential. I am registered for the advanced standing masters of social work program in the summer. Then I would like to explore more psychology for further specialization. I am currently a case manager for Crisis & Recovery Services with Sisters of Charity Health on the St. Vincent Campus. I have had my CDCA for the last 5 years and will continue on my path at CSU towards my Licensure Plan.
