What I'm looking for

I am looking for a clinical internship that fosters growth, collaboration, and meaningful client outcomes.

I am a dedicated and compassionate healthcare professional with a comprehensive background in clinical medicine, laboratory science, research coordination, and public health. My journey has equipped me with the skills necessary for patient care, lab management, and interdisciplinary collaboration. As a Master of Social Work candidate, I am deeply committed to clinical counseling, mental health advocacy, and social justice. My hands-on experience as a Care Coordinator and Behavior Interventionist has allowed me to support individuals and families navigating complex behavioral, emotional, and systemic challenges.

Trilingual in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, I offer inclusive support to diverse client populations. I am known for my strengths-based, empathetic approach that fosters trust and promotes resilience. Currently, I am seeking a clinical internship to build upon my core counseling competencies and contribute to meaningful, client-centered outcomes. I believe in the power of collaboration and am eager to work in environments that prioritize holistic care and community well-being.
