Summary
I am a 21-year-old in my final year Psychology student at Glasgow Caledonian University with several years of experience working in fast-paced, people focused environments. I have developed strong communication, patience, and the ability to build positive relationships with individuals from a range of backgrounds. Through both my academic studies and work experience, I have gained an understanding of behaviour, mental health, and the importance of providing consistent, supportive environments. I am particularly interested in supporting young people to overcome barriers to learning, and I am committed to promoting wellbeing, inclusion, and positive engagement.
