Student of the Month

I am currently working as a case manager. My hobbies are painting and spending time outdoors with friends. I am from Nicaragua and I got my social worker degree in the Nicaraguan National University. I chose ATI because of its strong reputation, flexible online structure, and the supportive environment it offers students. Taking my courses online helped me balance work, personal responsibilities, and school without feeling overwhelmed.

With my certification I plan to continue working in the field of substance use disorder treatment. I love being able to make a meaningful impact on someone’s life. Seeing clients take small steps forward reminds me why this work matters. My long-term goal is to become a fully licensed counselor and eventually work in a clinical or leadership role within a treatment center, ideally one centered around women or the LGBTQ+ community. I’m proud of where I am now and of the effort I’ve put into my journey, and I feel genuinely excited about the direction my path is taking me.
