What I like about Social Science is the balance of industry-specific technical know-how with career-critical soft skills: written and verbal communications, research and dissemination, time and conflict management, etc.
I had the opportunity to do my HLTHAGE 3EE3 placement at a long-term care home, St. Joseph’s Villa in Hamilton. This community-engaged placement allowed me to explore how I could make a difference in others’ lives.
When you have a dream, chase it, follow it like it with passion because someday you will look back and be proud of what you will have achieved.
