CLINTON SPARLING

Davidsville

Summary

I am a BA graduate in Psychology with several years of field experience in social work/case management. I have an interest in counseling and therapy, one of which I intend to pursue as a career. In addition, I am a musician with experience in writing, performing, and recording music. My performing experience includes bars, music festivals (several of which included collaborating with others to organize and run the festivals), benefit shows opening for larger acts, and others. While I am open to and have been actively pursuing playing music professionally, I also intend to obtain my Master of Social Work for the purpose of certification and employment in the therapy or counseling field. For now, my options are open as far as internships, job shadowing, and employment opportunities, especially those that can further one or both of the goals stated thus far. In my free time I enjoy exercising, working on automobiles/outdoors, spending time with friends and family, learning about my Catholic faith, reading, and playing guitar by myself or with my band.
