Compassionate mental health advocate with expertise in clinical research.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated mental health advocate and clinical researcher, I bring a unique blend of skills in communication, empathy, and analytical thinking. My journey began with a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, specializing in Clinical Exercise Physiology, which laid the foundation for my understanding of health dynamics. Currently pursuing a Master's in Counselling Psychology, I am committed to enhancing my knowledge and skills to better support individuals facing mental health challenges.
My professional experience as a Copywriter and Ghostwriter has honed my ability to create authentic and engaging content, allowing me to connect with diverse audiences. Additionally, my roles as a Clinical Research Coordinator have provided me with invaluable insights into patient advocacy and the complexities of health care. I have collaborated with medical teams to support vulnerable populations, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs addressed. My volunteer work further reflects my commitment to mental health, where I provide crisis support and facilitate support groups for individuals with Complex-PTSD.
