Summary

Transitioning from being a psychology student to working as a support worker, I have developed a keen interest in the field of mental health and possess a deep passion for providing support to individuals in need. Specifically, I am eagerly seeking opportunities to gain further work experience that will greatly enhance my future profession as a clinical psychologist. With my ability to effortlessly adapt to challenging circumstances, I relish in the face of new obstacles that not only boost my self-assurance but also make me an invaluable asset to any team.
