Summary
I am a passionate psychology student with diverse experience in childcare, research, student government, and sales. A combination of hands-on experience working directly with children and a strong foundation within theoretical principles of psychology has sharpened my competence functioning within development and learning environments. As an actively involved Student Senator, I facilitate student well-being, motivation, and accessibility on an individual basis, representative of my passion for psychological development and support. I have helped with research studies involving inclusive and special education, further refining my research and analytical skills. I am flexible and strongly driven, possessing a high degree of enthusiasm for critical thinking, evidence-based practice, and fostering understanding within the field of psychology.
