What I'm looking for

I'm looking to gain practical experience in diverse roles where I can apply psychology knowledge, support others, keep learning, and make meaningful contributions to a team or organization.

I supported children with autism, learning difficulties, and developmental delays at Child Enrichment Medical Centre, helping build functional, communication, and recreational skills through school activities, resource materials, and summer camp programming.

During my school counseling internship at GEMS Our Own English High School Sharjah Boys, I conducted weekly counseling sessions for more than 60 students, developed Behavioral Intervention Plans, supported students during exams, and helped de-escalate stressful situations.

I've also coordinated Mental Health Awareness programming at Westford University, facilitated art therapy activities for 150 students and professors, and completed research on spirituality, resilience, and mental well-being.
