PortugalWhat I'm looking for
I'm a Master's student in Intercultural Relations Psychology with a strong commitment to bridging cultures and supporting mental health efforts. I bring hands-on experience in research, cross-cultural communication, and project work aimed at promoting inclusivity.
As a volunteer psychology intern I conducted over 50 initial client interviews, assisted with assessments, and participated in group sessions that encouraged open conversations about mental health. I collaborated with psychologists to provide culturally respectful counseling and contributed to a training program for professionals supporting LGBTQ+ young refugees in Portugal.
I enjoy combining research and practical program development to drive positive change and welcome opportunities to join dynamic teams where I can apply my skills in intercultural communication, counseling support, and project coordination.
