What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in counseling or community health

I am a dedicated and results-driven counseling professional with a strong background in counseling psychology and community health. My experience spans various roles, including project officer, counselor, marketing intern, and volunteer, where I have developed valuable skills in communication, time management, leadership, and social work.

Throughout my career, I have provided psychological care, managed projects, offered therapy services, and collaborated with healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes. My current pursuit of a Bachelor of Arts in Counseling Psychology has enhanced my job performance by deepening my knowledge in counseling techniques, which I apply in my role to manage cases more effectively and improve client outcomes.

I have completed various diplomas, short courses, and certifications in trauma counseling and resource mobilization, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and professional growth. My experience working with diverse populations, including those affected by HIV-related issues, has equipped me with the skills to provide comprehensive counseling and support.
