What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support children's development in a collaborative and inclusive environment.

I am a motivated and detail-oriented psychology graduate with a strong foundation in both academic and practical settings. My educational journey includes an MSc in Clinical Child Psychology from Anglia Ruskin University, where I was honored with an International Merit Scholarship. I have developed exceptional administrative and organizational skills, complemented by my ability to communicate effectively and build rapport with clients.

In my professional experience, I have worked as a Teaching Assistant and Play Worker, supporting children with diverse needs and fostering their independence. My role at Cambridgeshire County Council involved analyzing children's progress and addressing challenging behaviors with resilience. I thrive in fast-paced environments and have a proven track record of maintaining calm under pressure, ensuring a safe and inclusive atmosphere for all.

Additionally, my experience as an ABA Therapist and Research Assistant has equipped me with the skills to conduct therapy sessions and analyze data effectively. I am passionate about promoting inclusivity and advocating for equitable access to resources, as demonstrated through my voluntary work with low socioeconomic schools. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the field of psychology.
