What I'm looking for

I seek a role that allows me to apply my psychological knowledge and interpersonal skills in a collaborative environment, focusing on growth and meaningful impact.

As a graduate in Psychological Sciences, I have developed a strong foundation in understanding social behavior, health, and various psychological disciplines. My experience spans across clinical and forensic psychology, with a keen interest in investigating human behavior throughout the lifespan. I am passionate about applying my knowledge to real-world situations, particularly in areas such as infant and child development, family dynamics, and developmental psychopathologies.

In my recent role as an Executive Assistant at Belle Luxury Events, I honed my organizational and time management skills while executing personalized decor for diverse events. My internship at The National Registry of Exonerations allowed me to engage deeply with issues surrounding wrongful convictions, where I learned to handle sensitive information with empathy and respect. Additionally, my experience as a freelance tutor has equipped me with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to create supportive learning environments.
