What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to apply my psychological expertise in a collaborative environment, focusing on research and educational support.

I am a dedicated psychology professional currently pursuing my Master's in Neuroscience and Neurocognitive Psychology at Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. My academic journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Ethiraj College for Women, where I developed a strong foundation in psychological principles. I have a passion for understanding the complexities of the human mind, particularly in the context of neurocognitive processes.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in special education and counseling, working with diverse populations to support their educational and psychological needs. My role as a Special Educator at Indian Public School involved developing individualized educational plans and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to enhance student learning outcomes. Additionally, my research assistantship at Ruhr-Universität Bochum allowed me to engage in experimental paradigms and data management, further honing my analytical skills.
