What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role in psychology research, mental health support, or client-facing research work—where empathy, ethical practice, and rigorous documentation matter, and I can grow through mentorship and meaningful impact.

I’m a Psychology and research professional with a multi-disciplinary BA (Psychology, History & English Literature) from Sophia Girls’ College. I bring hands-on clinical observation, peer support, and academic research experience to roles that require empathy, rigorous documentation, and clear communication.

In my work, I’ve delivered empathetic, non-judgmental listening support while upholding ethical standards of peer emotional wellbeing support. I’ve also developed foundational clinical documentation skills through observation of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation, collecting comprehensive case histories. Alongside this, I contribute to research and client interaction tasks—strengthening data collection, report writing, and communication—and I drive client outreach and engagement as a Business Development Associate for a research writing and PhD guidance platform.
