BOHLALE MTHIMKULU

Brakpan

Summary

A dedicated and ambitious Psychology and English major with a strong academic record, including distinctions in multiple undergraduate modules and a passion for understanding human behavior. With a keen interest in developmental and abnormal psychology, I am driven by my personal experiences supporting my autistic cousin and aspire to contribute meaningfully to the field. I am currently preparing to pursue an Honours degree in Psychology and have also explored practical skills as a student nail technician and an aspiring receptionist, demonstrating my adaptability and strong work ethic.

My leadership experience as a former Public Relations Officer and my achievements in Life Sciences, where I earned second place in matric, reflect my analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and commitment to excellence.

Balancing academic excellence with entrepreneurial initiatives, I manage a small nail business, which has honed my customer service, communication, and time management skills. My ultimate goal is to use my psychology background to make a meaningful impact, whether through research, clinical work, or advocacy.
