As part of her self-care practice, Aja enjoys spending time with loved ones and practicing mindfulness exercises, which help her stay grounded, recharge, and remain present in both her personal and professional life. Aja is passionate about becoming a social worker because she wants to support individuals as they navigate challenges and help create safe, supportive environments where people feel heard and empowered. What she values most about social work is the opportunity to build meaningful relationships and make a positive impact in people’s lives. She looks forward to continuing to learn, grow, and contribute throughout this experience.
