Summary
I am a motivated Psychology BSc student at the University of the West of England, predicted to graduate with a 1:1, with a genuine passion for advancing psychological research and understanding human behaviour. My recent role as a Special Educational Needs Teaching Assistant gave me hands-on experience supporting children with ADD, ADHD, Autism, and EBD, adapting my approach to meet each individual's needs. I am a self-directed, independent learner; having completed my A-Levels in one year through home education. I have strong communication and leadership skills demonstrated through my ILM Level 3 qualification and my elected role as Head Girl. I am eager to bring my academic curiosity and practical care experience into a role where I can contribute to meaningful research and positive outcomes.
I look forward to getting to know you. I pride myself in my ability to quickly take on new skills, I'm always up for a challenge and love
to take on new responsibilities, I hope I can get the opportunity to demonstrate this to you in person
