Student / Alumni Experiences

Gisela Vazquez
BSW, Class of 2003
MSW

I was born in New Jersey and raised in Miami. After receiving an associate degree in psychology, I enrolled in Barry's BSW program. I enjoyed the curriculum; it was informative and challenging. I found the faculty to be nice, going above and beyond the call of duty. They are knowledgeable and accessible.

My field placement was an incredible experience. I felt that with every week, I grew professionally and personally.

Campus life was good. The School attempts to enroll an all-inclusive student body. I made some great life-long friendships!

I am now in Barry's MSW program as an Advanced Standing student. My career goals include working in the school system to help blind and low-vision students transition from high school to real life.
