I was a part of the chess club and I was treasurer of the log rolling club. I had the amazing opportunity to intern at Formed Families Forward for the last two semesters of college. At my internship I learned so much about different family structures and different resources that provide aid to families.
My favorite CHSS professor was my HDFS 499 Senior Internship class supervisor, Betsy Levine-Brown. Professor Brown helped me organize my entire HDFS Senior Project and was one of the first professors who I felt completely supported by. I truly believe that she was one of the sole reasons that I was able to fully succeed as a student and feel confident as I go on to my Master’s Program. I am extremely grateful for her leadership and support all throughout my last semester of college.
One of my most memorable moments at mason was staying up till the early hours of the morning playing chess under southside awning with fellow mason friends.
I will be attending VCU for my Masters of Social Work.
I would tell them to utilize the resources that Mason provides like the online library and databases.
