Hannah Neil
Summary
A motivated second-year Psychology student at Cardiff University with highly relevant skills such as collaboration, time management and ability to build rapport. I have a particular interest in developmental and clinical psychology and have applicable experience working with disabled and neurodivergent children as well as knowledge of data collection and analysis and IT software. I am looking to put my skills and experience to practical use during a year-long placement which I hope further facilitate my knowledge and understanding of psychological conditions such as mental health and neurodiversity.
