Learn how to write an effective personal statement
The MSW Writing Workshop is for you if:
- You aren’t sure how to start your personal statement
- You’ve started writing but you’re not sure how to make it sound good
- You’re feeling lost, overwhelmed, or jumbled
- You want to get your personal statement ahead of the curve
Through a mix of pre-recorded content and worksheets, you'll create your rough draft, and I’ll give you EVERYTHING I know from helping hundreds of MSW applicants apply to dozens of social work programs. We’ll cover things such as:
- Uncovering your “why”
- Creating your elevator pitch - how to convince schools that accepting you is a no-brainer
- Answering common prompts in the MSW personal statement
- Why social work? (Keywords to use, concepts and theories)
- Creating cohesion and putting it all together
- Traps and mistakes to look out for
- Helpful tricks, strategies, and insights gained from reviewing hundreds of personal statements
Results
When you complete the workshop, you'll have everything you need to write a personal statement that stands out. At the end of this workshop, you're going to be ready to tackle your personal statements with confidence.
When applicants take this workshop BEFORE working with me, their personal statements are ALWAYS stronger. This means we get to focus on perfecting their personal statement instead of backtracking and fixing mistakes.
If you want your personal statement to stand out among the rest, the writing workshop is for you.

What MSW applicants are saying:
“Before completing the MSW Helper Course, I was very stressed about my personal statements and had no clue what to write. This course helped me to flesh out my ideas step by step. Each module has a few questions at the end where you answer some questions to help you think about your relevant personal, professional, academic and volunteer experiences, social problems and how social workers can help. It really helped to guide my thinking. Once I have my rough draft, I will definitely be sending it over to Michelle to edit. Now I am no longer stressed out my personal statement and excited to get to the masterpiece. ”
Vera“I had no idea where to start. Michelle really knows her stuff. I learned a lot about social work overall, social work skills, organization, ethics, and so much more. Her examples were really helpful a long with the guided questions she provides!”
Emily H“I just finished the writing workshop and feel so much more confident in writing my personal statement! I was stumped on how to organize my thoughts and the templates provided were so helpful. Additionally, the course is super thorough!”
