What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to combine my counseling skills with my passion for music, fostering community well-being and personal growth.

I am a passionate and dedicated professional with over six years of experience in counseling and psychotherapy, complemented by more than a decade of involvement in music. My journey has equipped me with a dynamic blend of technical expertise and interpersonal skills, allowing me to serve humanity effectively. I am committed to advocating for justice and uplifting the community through education, counseling, and music.

Currently, I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Music. My professional experiences include distributing psychological therapy literature internationally and engaging with local communities to provide access to mental health support resources. I have also worked as a freelance translator and editor, ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural sensitivity in published materials.
