What I'm looking for

I seek roles delivering direct mental health services and MHPSS program design, in collaborative NGOs or research-informed teams that value client-centered care and professional growth.

I am a clinical psychology master's student and practitioner with hands-on experience designing and implementing MHPSS programs, providing online therapy, and conducting research in child and family development. I led the development of MHPSS program frameworks, conducted needs assessments, maintained program records, and produced reporting to support program evaluation.

I combine practical field experience—case management, protection assistance, and workshop facilitation—with research and lab work supporting quantitative and qualitative studies. I am skilled in assessment, intervention design, training coordination, and data tools, and I bring a collaborative, client-centered approach to mental health and psychosocial support.
