I really enjoy the helping profession.

I like the idea of making difference in people's lives,

and it's been a really eye-opening experience for me,

just to see the scope of social work, and where you can go with it,

for sure.

I think it's really important for people to have support, children, youths, seniors.

I just think that through personal experience and

just experience within the field already.

I just see how important even just being a listener is,

so I'm just really passionate about that.

Social Work is a wonderful program for teaching critical social work to students.

We're talking about how there's more than one, sort of, evidence out there, and people

often think of evidence as fact.

And we're saying that there's many different ways to create knowledge

and so when we're doing community-based research,

it's around students getting engaged with those voices that often

aren't heard, and aren't part of policy decisions.

The community at UVic for Social Work is extremely diverse.

I mean, you have people from all over the country,

all different kind of specializations,

all different kind of skills,

that are coming here, so you have a bunch of different perspectives

coming to one common place.

And it's a pretty special place for that.
