My name is Cassandra Whitten, and I am wanting to pursue a degree in Social Work and Psychology. I have been a 911 dispatcher for 6 years and have always had a passion for supporting and uplifting others. My current profession has deepened my understanding of crisis response and inspired my long-term goal of going into counseling. Every day, I witness people in their most vulnerable moments. This has strengthened my commitment to advocating for mental health and emotional support services.
