Aaliyah Thomas
MSW Intern at Girls for Gender Equity (GGE)
Master of Social Work - MSW at Hunter College
My ideal career would allow me to pursue my keen interest in people and strong passion for helping the underserved.

I find joy in being a leader and having the ability to teach, influence and motivate others. I also love meeting new people and am often described by others as a great listener and communicator, as well as an easy person to work with on a team.

In addition, I always aspire to understand the cause of a situation and work endlessly to derive the best solution. This allows me to exercise one of my many skills as a highly organized individual.

I have strong confidence that I possess many qualities that will allow me to succeed in any opportunity.
