Motivated and detail-oriented psychology graduate with a 3-month attachment experience in psychological assessment, counseling support, and mental health awareness in a clinical setting. Skilled in mental health assessment, psychological interviewing, SOAP note documentation, observing client behavior, maintaining confidential records, and assisting with therapy sessions under supervision. Previously held a comprehensive role in a resin manufacturing industry where I gained practical exposure across Human Resource, Supply Chain, Sales, Production, Raw Materials, and document scanning/records management functions, with the ability to apply Industrial and Organizational Psychology principles within a manufacturing environment.
