I am very intelligent, very friendly and open minded person. I am very analytical when it comes to assessment and management of clients who report to my unit, as evidenced by the reports i submits and the presentations I do at case conferences that are organized. I am also very respectful and diligent with all roles assigned to me.
I am very supportive and versatile. My agility makes it very easy to adjust to changing environment roles whenever the demand arises. In addition, I love team work and always ready to accommodate everyone I move along with.
I maintains high professional standards in the discharge of my duties when it comes to my personal character, duties as a psychologist assistant. I always take personal responsibility for my actions and works with very little and mostly no supervision. I am very fluent in both written and spoken English.
I am a highly motivated individual and keeps my appointments. I do have a multidisciplinary background that increases my scope of judgement whenever faced with a specific case. I am very cooperative, flexible, innovative and critical to details especially when assigned assessment duties.
Moreover, I am very dependable and very ready to work even beyond my assigned schedules. I am very prying and thus uses my leisure time to read materials that are outside my academic scope. I am very flexible in a way I carry out my duties with patience.
