Summary

I am a recent psychology graduate with a strong focus on clinical and child and family psychology. My academic journey taught me a robust understanding of human behaviour and development. Complementing my major, I pursued a minor in education to deepen my insight into working with children. I thrive in dynamic environments, excelling at building deep relationships with colleagues and team members. Beyond professional growth, my true passion lies in contributing to the community. I am dedicated to applying my psychological expertise to impact individuals and families positively. As an aspiring clinical or child and family psychologist, I am eager to embark on a fulfilling career that directly contributes to community well-being. My blend of education, interpersonal skills, and commitment positions me as a dedicated professional ready to make a meaningful difference.
