Matthew, a provisional clinical social worker, was nominated for being the definition of a team player! Matthew goes above and beyond providing excellent services to his clients as well as team members, and steps into help wherever he is needed.

To get to know Matthew better, we asked him a few questions.

What is your favorite part of working at CWCC?
My favorite part of working at CWCC are my amazing coworkers and the population we provide services to. I really enjoy how everyone works together as a team and the sense of a supportive community we have. 

What do you like most about the work you do here?
 What I like most about the work I do is being able to support individuals through their challenges and witnessing their growth and resilience is incredibly rewarding. 

What’s the most interesting thing you’ve done recently?
The most interesting thing I have done recently is going to North Carolina to celebrate my brother graduating with his master’s in accounting. Much of my family was able to come to celebrate and we spent a week at a rental on the beach with my brother and his wife celebrating and enjoying the ocean and each other’s company. 

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?
 I would choose the ability to understand and speak any language as it would allow me to communicate with everyone and get a better understanding of the world. 

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
It’s a tough choice as there are so many amazing places I would love to go, but I think I would have to pick Egypt. I have always been intrigued by Egypt and the amazing history and culture they have. Of course, I would be interested in going to the great pyramids as well.
