Summary
I completed my Bachelor of Arts Majoring in Psychology and Minoring in Education, in November 2022. After completion, I decided to continue my learning and broaden my future job opportunities. This led me to enrol in a Diploma for Graduates in the field of Human Resource Management. Once I have completed my Diploma, I am seeking full-time employment relative to my studies. I have gained important professional skills throughout my studies including problem solving, working in a team, time management, self-motivation, leadership and effective communication. I am looking for a job where I can apply these skills and continue to enhance my learning.
