Summary

I am a dedicated, driven student eager to learn and apply my skills into helping others who suffer with their mental health. I am committed to making a positive impact to mental heath sectors and those who are a part of the them.

Having struggled with my own mental wellbeing I can sympathise and communicate with those that are also struggling. I will always have the time and care for those in this position and make it my goal to improve their mental health, whilst working as a team.

I work well alone and during collaborative tasks. I am happy in a fast paced environment. During my time in education, I worked both practically and completed theory work.
