How I chose this profession:

After receiving my Bachelors degree, I served as a VISTA volunteer in Raton, New Mexico. This was a life transforming experience for me and led to my continuation as a VISTA volunteer in a special program, The Vista Fellows Program, of the University of Maryland, School of Social Work. Through this full-time MSW program, I received field work credit for my VISTA experience in Baltimore and took courses toward my Masters degree in social work, majoring in community organization. Thus, grass-roots community organization was my pathway into the social work profession.
