Paula Purvis

I am a final-year undergraduate psychology student striving to further my knowledge and skills. As the mother of my 9-year-old son, I have a communicative, friendly, and caring nature. With a positive attitude and work ethic, I continuously strive to ensure staff and patient care.

I value helping others and creating an environment that fosters positive change. My professional goal is to finish my degree and continue improving my knowledge of the value of helping others through professional guidance and actively learning from others.
