About Aliyah

This fall, I'll be pursuing my master's in social work at WashU! My post-undergraduate ambitions stem from a long-time dream of becoming a therapist. After attaining my master's degree, I plan to become a licensed clinical social worker and work with children through play therapy, art therapy, and music therapy. Outside of class and work, I'm a writer, a singer, and a dancer! I've been engaged with the creative all my life, having attended many creative workshops and extracurriculars when I was a child. Since graduating high school, I have kept up with my musical passions, especially singing. However, in my free time right now, I'm learning to play guitar and improving upon my piano skills. In addition, I've been doing creative writing (both poetry and prose) since I was 11, and I'm hoping to publish a book this summer. Fun fact: I'm a big fan of trivia, and I've been part of a trivia team for the last ten months!
