@ishitauser1
First-class psychology graduate focused on people operations and experience.
What I'm looking for
I am a first-class Psychology graduate who works at the intersection of people, behaviour, and systems, bringing hands-on experience across employee experience, healthcare-adjacent research, outreach, and service delivery.
I have driven measurable outcomes including a 15% increase in higher education applications from underrepresented groups and a 20% improvement in literacy through structured, individualised support, demonstrating my strength in programme delivery and stakeholder engagement.
My practical skills include research literacy, data-informed decision-making, GDPR and information security awareness, and frontline engagement; I have worked closely with students, families, professionals, and partner organisations to improve services.
I am particularly interested in HR and People Advisory, NHS and healthcare research, and public-sector roles that apply behavioural insight and evidence to improve outcomes, and I am actively seeking graduate or entry-level opportunities to contribute immediately while continuing to develop professionally.
