“Applying knowledge from my social work studies helps me in my personal life. Wherever I go, I bring that professionalism with me, but I also know how to separate it from my personal experiences. I work with kids and with seniors at the Cummings Centre, which is always rewarding. It reminds me that I’m not here to save the world, but just to have a positive impact on their lives in some way. It’s interesting because the people that I get to work with now were once judges and lawyers and had really big professions. Many of them had strict walls built around them their whole lives, and now the walls have broken down and a new side to them appears. Working with them I realize that not only am I impacting their lives in a way, but they are also impacting mine.”
