Summary
I am an MSc student currently undertaking a degree in Forensic Psychology at Birmingham City University who has many years' experience working with the public. I have a passion for psychology and am constantly looking to further develop the skills I have accomplished throughout my four years of studies. I aspire for my career to be centred around reducing recidivism for offending populations and encouraging a safer society through the application and development of psychological techniques. I am searching for a future role that allows me to develop my skills and put my knowledge into practice, all while maintaining my career aspirations.
