Short Term Goals

My active lifestyle and energetic persona as a child, adolescent, and young adult led to countless trips to the emergency room. These excursions brought forth news of broken bones, torn ligaments, and strained muscles. Over time, the many hospital visits became especially exciting as I gained a stronger understanding of reading x-rays, studied the way the physicians cared for their patents, and learned more and more about the organs that helped my body move. Due to these musculoskeletal injuries and hospital trips, my ultimate goal in life is to seek a career in orthopedic physician assistance. Not only am I looking forward to examining patients, diagnosing conditions of these patients, applying braces and splints to the injured, and provide

One of the proudest moments of my life is graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in social work. I’m the first in my family to do so, and I am going to go further in my education by pursuing a Master’s degree in social work.

My short-term goals primarily focus on integrating myself into the wildlife community.
