Oliver F. Schmidtberg

As a final-year psychology undergraduate with two years of experience supporting children and young people with complex mental health needs in residential and respite care, I've honed my ability to apply psychological frameworks in fast-paced clinical settings. I collaborate effectively within multidisciplinary teams and maintain rigorous safeguarding and ethical standards. My research skills include quantitative analysis in R, experience in survey design and data collection and a dissertation examining physical activity as a moderator of sleep quality and depressive symptoms.
