Hello! My name is Kristina, I’m a Connecticut native but currently reside in Mississippi as I am a military spouse. I attended Suffolk University in Boston where I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology. After working in that field for a few years, I chose to pursue an online MSW degree in clinical social work as the fields are closely related. When I moved to Mississippi, I initially began an MSW program in-person, part-time at LSU. With a two-hour commute, I quickly realized an online program would better suit my needs and allow me to continue working full-time.
I researched programs and saw BU had a well-established Online MSW Program that incorporated a weekly Live Classroom session. I felt this would enable me to be a distant learner without having a distant education. Pretty immediately after transferring to BU I knew it was the right decision and best fit for me. Being a military spouse means that I have to move frequently and BUSSW has been more than accommodating. The Online MSW Program allows me to live remotely and continue working while still getting a great education.
Additionally, behavioral health is something that I am extremely passionate about. My long term goals are to work in a pediatric, psychiatric inpatient setting which is why I felt an MSW would be the perfect complement to my psychology background.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, and doing yoga! I look forward to connecting with YOU!
