Cassie Foyen
@cassiefoyen
Psychology graduate passionate about mental health and human behavior.
What I'm looking for
I am a Psychology graduate with a strong foundation in customer-facing roles, team management, and caregiving. My diverse work experience in hospitality, administration, and childcare has honed my communication skills, empathy, and adaptability. I am eager to apply my academic knowledge and analytical skills in a psychology-related role, such as mental health support or research assistance.
Throughout my career, I have developed a deep understanding of human behavior, particularly through my personal experiences as a full-time caregiver for my autistic son. This journey has equipped me with valuable insights into neurodiversity and the importance of tailored emotional support. I am now ready to re-enter the workforce, bringing with me a renewed motivation and a commitment to making a positive impact in the field of psychology.
