Alexis Guerrero

MSW Class of 2022
Alumni

Why did you choose to pursue an MSW degree? I wanted to become a therapist and more specifically help people with eating disorders.

Why did you choose BYU's Social Work Program? I liked BYU's emphasis on clinical social work and I love the atmosphere of BYU.

What are your thoughts on BYU's focus on a spiritually strengthening educational experience? I think doing my MSW at BYU really challenged me spiritually and caused me to look at myself and my relationship with God in a deeper, more realistic way.

How did BYU's MSW program prepare you for your career? I felt and still feel more prepared for clinical work because of the rigor of BYU's program. I find in the field that I often have an clinical edge in many ways when it comes to approaching cases from a trauma-informed perspective.

What are your career goals? I would like to one day start my own practice and continue to work with clients with eating disorders, OCD, and anxiety in creative, effective ways.
