What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my knowledge in criminology and psychology while contributing to community welfare and social justice.

My name is Tashreeqa Padayachee, and I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at UNISA, where I am deeply engaged in subjects that explore the complexities of human behavior and societal issues. My academic journey has equipped me with a solid foundation in criminology, psychology, and social sciences, which I am eager to apply in a professional setting.

In addition to my studies, I have gained practical experience as a Shop Assistant and Wellness Assistant at Clicks Retailers. This role has honed my customer service skills and allowed me to interact with diverse individuals, enhancing my understanding of community needs. I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of others and am committed to using my education and experiences to contribute to social work and crime prevention initiatives.
