Ms Leona Ciantar began her journey with FSIB in 2018 as a Social Work student during her third year of studies. During this time, she was offered the position of a part-time Care Worker, were it allowed her to gain a more hands-on experience while completing her education. During this time, she worked at Dar Teresa Spinelli and Dar Imelda and Paul Debono, which deepened her understanding and passion for Social Work. In 2020, she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work (Hons) and transitioned into a professional role as a Social Worker with FSIB. Ms Ciantar’s journey has been instrumental in her personal growth from a student to a dedicated social worker.
