What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities in academic counselling, student support, customer support, data entry, or remote administrative work where I can use my communication, documentation, and psychology background.

I’ve supported children with learning difficulties at Kare Therapy Centre, building reading, writing, communication, attention, and cognitive skills while maintaining progress records and reports.

As an English Teacher at Al Bayyinah School, I delivered tailored lessons and learning materials, creating an inclusive classroom and working with parents and staff to address student needs.

My psychology internships at Shadithiya Hospital and Manashastra Integrated Mind Care gave me practical exposure to counselling, patient interviews, psychological assessments, case documentation, behavioural observation, and therapeutic support.
