I am a 4th year university student, studying a Bachelor of Social Work at Western Sydney University. Through the completion of my tertiary education, I hope to create further opportunities to continuously develop the knowledge and experience I have already gained. The primary objectives moving forward in my career; are to be in an area that is both challenging and rewarding, provides plentiful chances to interact and assist vulnerable individuals and facilitate further growth in my knowledge and understanding of social work. These aspects have become very clear throughout more social work centered role experiences. Throughout my placement experiences, I have been able to particularly develop my ability to interact with clients and my researching abilities. As both placement experiences had been affected by Covid-19, research became a primary focus and I was able to complete various projects, such as literature reviews, formulating systems for calculating referral data and developing brochure/booklet ideas. However, with my first placement (Seniors Rights Service), who I was then hired by, I deepened my understanding an ability to communicate with vulnerable people over the phone and the referral systems available for various situations. Conversely, my placement at Broderick Gillawarna School provided a brief opportunity to interact with and observe a classroom environment for children with disability. These both provided a great deal of opportunities for personal and professional growth and have helped me to identify what I am aiming towards, career-wise.
