Skills
- Effective communication skills
Clinical psychology work experience
- Spent a day shadowing a clinical psychologist, gaining insight into the assessment process for neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD.
- Observed clinical appointments and attended a multidisciplinary team meeting, where psychologists and medical professionals collaborated to discuss and plan patient care.
Work experience at Marsh Infant and Nursery School
- Completed a week-long placement supporting a Reception class. Assisted pupils with early learning activities and helped teachers with classroom setup and daily routines. This experience strengthened my communication and nurturing skills, particularly in working with young children.

- In 2025, I facilitated conversations around Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), aiming to raise awareness and challenge common misconceptions about the condition.
Peer mentoring
- Trained by the mental health charity Bucks Mind, I meet weekly with a younger student to offer support with challenges related to school or mental health.
- I provide a safe space for open conversation and emotional support.
Reading buddy
