I recently graduated with my masters in social work from NYU with a concentration in older adults. In regards to my experience, I have run group therapy with older adults in addition to working at a senior center. I love what I do because I think it is crucial for a person to be able to stay in their home if that is where they are comfortable and caregivers gives people this choice. In addition, I was a social worker at a school for children with learning differences and special needs as well as teaching horseback riding lessons for children on the autism spectrum for 5+ years. I would describe myself as attentive, kind, fun, and caring.
