What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to support individuals in crisis, fostering a positive and empowering environment while promoting mental health awareness.

I am an empathetic and driven psychology graduate with a strong foundation in mental health support, communication, and leadership. My experience has equipped me with the skills necessary to guide individuals through high-pressure situations with patience and clarity. I am known for my calm and supportive presence, which I believe is essential in promoting a collaborative, people-first environment.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my commitment to helping others feel heard, respected, and empowered. As a Shift Lead at Subway, I managed daily operations, trained new employees, and resolved customer complaints, enhancing satisfaction and boosting retention. I am eager to contribute my skills to a mental health or crisis support role, where I can make a meaningful impact.
