Marie Brilliant

I am completing a psychology degree at the University of Birmingham with the aim of becoming a psychologist. I consider myself to be an excellent communicator, a team player, flexible and adaptable. With robust computer, maths and English skills, I can take initiative and adapt to differing situations, while feeling confident that I can keep up and cope well with a busy environment.

Events Planning

My relevant experience has mainly evolved around planning and putting on various events, such as my school's graduation ball, as well as raising money for multiple charities.

• Organised an outdoor cinema
• Hosted a pyjama day to raise money for the local food banks
• Involved in planning and organising two social events, organising the music, decorations, food and drinks

Volunteering

I have partaken in volunteering opportunities, taking the initiative to seek out volunteering work in order to expand my skills set and take part in new experiences.

• Coached netball to children ages 7-16, learning valuable skills including communication and teamwork, and how to be adaptable and patient
• Volunteered at a turtle sanctuary in Sri Lanka where I learnt how to overcome obstacles while remaining calm under pressure

Work Experience - Psychiatry at Little Brooks Hospital (2024 – 2024)

During year 12, I completed invaluable work experience at Little Brooks Hospital in Dartford. I work-shadowed a psychiatrist. I received extremely positive feedback from my colleagues concerning my professionality despite my young age. I was praised for my strong work ethic, adaptability and punctuality.
