Psychologist with expertise in child development and behavioral disorders.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated psychologist currently working at the Social Welfare Center in Zajezda, where I focus on children with developmental and behavioral disorders. My role involves constant monitoring of children's behavior, conducting psychological tests, and developing social skills programs. I am passionate about helping children overcome their challenges and improve their daily functioning.
With a strong educational background in psychology from the University of Zagreb, I have honed my skills in statistical analysis and psychodiagnostic methodology. My experience includes working with diverse populations, including children without parental care and those with special needs. I have also volunteered extensively, which has enriched my understanding of various social issues and enhanced my communication skills.
In addition to my clinical work, I have a keen interest in programming and data analysis, which I believe can enhance psychological research and practice. I am always eager to learn and grow in my field, and I am committed to making a positive impact on the lives of those I work with.
