Graduated with Bachelor in Social work in October 2024.My interest in Social work grew while i was working as a patient service associate (PSA)the same year.As a PSA ,working with patients closely, allowed me an insight with issues that they are facing such as lacking in financial and emotional support.To improve their situation ,i understand how social worker plays such important roles.This inspired me to take up social work course in SUSS, so that I can enter the social work industry and create impactful changes to those who needs it.
During my course of study for Social work Bachelor ,i did my 400 hrs attachment at Parkinson Society Singapore.There i worked closely with various clients and various colleagues in the organisation.
