• Comfortable with pets

I am 22 years old and grew up in Massachusetts. I recently graduated from University of Delaware last May (2018) with my bachelors in political science. I am currently obtaining my master's at NYU in social work. In high school I spent two summers as a lifeguard at a community pool. I took two CPR classes over this period of time. I also babysat occasionally for a family in my neighborhood growing up. They have three children- two boys and a girl. At the time they were ages 9,7, and 4. In college I spent one summer (2015) as a summer camp counselor at TeamWorks Northboro. I usually worked with the basketball group which consisted of mostly boys and the age range was between 7-14 years old. I also taught the after camp swim lessons and ran weekend birthday parties that were hosted at the TeamWorks facility. My last two Read more summers of college (2016 and 2017) I worked as a summer associate at the non-profit Voices of September 11th. My last summer at Voices, I was the head associate and was responsible for the other college associates and headed their high school internship program. This past summer I moved to NYC and took a part time job at Equinox. I worked as a front desk associate at Equinox into the fall. For the past 9 months I've been working 3 days a week at The Leadership and Public Service High School as part of my master's program. I work under the high schools licensed social worker in the student support center. My role at the center was to build a therapeutic alliance with the diverse student population to address emotional and behavioral needs- I did both individual counseling and group work with students to achieve this. I had a caseload of around 10 students who I met with individually weekly. I also helped facilitate restorative justice circles amongst students who were having problems with one and other. I plan on going into oncology social work when I complete my master's next spring. I am specifically interested in pediatric oncology social work.
