Safia
Southampton Solent UniversityBA (Hons) Social WorkHello I'm Safia! I am currently in my third year and I study BA (Hons) Social Work. After I graduate, my goal is to become a social worker. As a mother, I have gained valuable experience in caregiving which I believe will be beneficial in my future profession. Additionally, I have volunteered at schools and various groups to further enhance my skills and knowledge in this field. I am looking forward to pursuing my passion and making a positive impact on the lives of others. Stevie
