Hey there! My name is Michelle, and I’m your webinar host.

When I applied for my Master of Social Work in 2017 I realized how little support there was for such a competitive program. I wrote my personal statements having no idea if what I was writing was what admissions committees are actually looking for.

After I got accepted I started helping people around me with their personal statements, and realized there was a need for personal statement services specifically designed for the MSW program.

7 years later - MSW Helper is the go-to resource for students who are applying to social work programs, and our application advising team is here to support you.

We strongly believe that great social workers aren't always strong writers. Social work is so much more than an academic field. By increasing access and supporting applicants through the writing process we increase diversity and equity in the social work field, creating a field that better reflects the people we support as social workers.
