Coral Bealer, MSW Candidate

My name is Coral Bealer and I’m a 24 year old graduate student at Case Western Reserve Advanced Standing MSW program. I recently graduated from Central State University 2021 with a Bachelors in Social work. I’m originally from Cleveland Ohio but was raised in Columbus for the majority of my life. When I have free time I enjoy dancing. I’m currently a part of a dance company called Thiossane West African Dance located in Columbus Ohio.

How did I come across Social Work? Honestly, social work found me. I grew up in an environment where advocacy is the norm. It’s one of those things that came naturally to me and personally I’ve always wanted to be an activist. I grew up wanting to go against standards that weren’t meant for me to follow. I strongly believe that we as humans should continue to question societal norms and change them for the betterment.
