What I'm looking for

I seek a research role in psychology focusing on social cognition/personality where I can apply quantitative analysis, data cleaning, and collaborative research to contribute to publishable work.

I am an applied psychology undergraduate with hands-on research experience in quantitative methods, large-scale data cleaning, and NLP-based toxicity analysis. I have authored and presented award-winning work and contributed to psychometric scale development using SPSS.

I bring practical experience from clinical observation, inclusive education support roles, and remote peer-support volunteering, demonstrating strong communication, empathy, and organizational skills. I have completed coursework and certificates in AI and psychological first aid to complement my research toolkit.

I am motivated by academic research in personality and social cognition, and I consistently deliver clear, timely results while collaborating with supervisors and interdisciplinary teams to advance study objectives.
