Summary

I am an enthusiastic undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Psychology, with a strong passion for mental health. My goal is to deepen my knowledge and gain practical experience in the mental health sector. I bring valuable skills from my current roles as a barista and customer service advisor, where I have developed my abilities in communication, empathy, and problem-solving. I am eager to apply these skills in a professional setting to contribute to the well-being of others and further my career in mental health.
