What I'm looking for

I seek roles that let me combine research or healthcare skills with community-focused work, supportive teams, and opportunities to develop leadership and clinical experience.

I am a second-year Neuroscience BSc student at the University of St Andrews with practical experience in customer-facing roles, healthcare-related training, and community-focused volunteering. I have contributed to research on war veterans, completed clinical skills and mental health first aid training, and developed strong teamwork, communication, and problem-solving abilities through roles in hospitality and organised volunteering.

I bring hands-on experience in event coordination, safety monitoring, and frontline customer service, alongside formal training in CPR, AED use, and conflict de-escalation. I am passionate about mental health advocacy and community work, and I seek opportunities where I can apply my clinical skills, leadership experience, and commitment to supporting others.
