Summary

A self-motivated and passionate bilingual MSc Developmental Psychology graduate from University of Dundee and BSc Psychology with Clinical Psychology from University of Kent, UK. I have worked with SEND individuals in different school and home settings and as an Applied Behavioural Analysis Therapist. Said experiences taught me to provide quality aids, positive life outcomes in SEND individuals and sensitive to potential danger. It also makes me cherish the importance of multidisciplinary team and proud of the influence that I made for the individual and the team.


Volunteering in the different mental health organisation such as Mental Health Association of Hong Kong, Kwai Chung Mental Health Hospital and Befriends in Scotland have also widen my chances to help SEND individuals in different cultural background and settings. In which, I grew into an excellent team player who is skillful to work under pressure and keen to learn. From these experiences, I have grown a strong desire to become a Mental Health practitioner as I have witness first-handed on how different therapy affect individuals and put them at a better position in life. As a quick learner and independent worker, I am open to challenges and ready for any collaboration or any individual task.
