My practical experience includes caring for my grandfather, volunteering with the mental health organization Shout, and mentoring science students. These roles have honed my multitasking abilities, empathy, and resilience in stressful situations. Additionally, I have a solid background in clinical psychology, with a keen understanding of mental health issues, supported by my successful academic performance and relevant coursework.

My professional profile is further strengthened by various certifications, including safeguarding training and first aid, underscoring my commitment to supporting vulnerable individuals. My career goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge to make a meaningful impact in the field of psychology, particularly in clinical settings.

I recently completed my Bachelor of Science (Hons) degree in Psychology (Clinical Psychology) from Northumbria University, achieving a 2:1 classification. Throughout my studies, I focused on clinical modules, including eating disorders, mental health cognition and the brain, and mental health problems and crime. A significant highlight of my education was my placement with the mental health organization Shout, where I gained practical experience working with individuals facing severe mental health challenges.

This experience, combined with my coursework, allowed me to develop a deep understanding of mental health issues and enhance my skills in communication, data analysis, and critical thinking.
