Summary

Dedicated Senior Researcher well-versed in content writing, report writing and in-depth knowledge of data collection, problem-solving, presentations and trend modelling. Strong planner, team leader and project manager with 3+ years of experience - in dedication to research excellence. Looking for a work opportunity that allows a combination in my area of study with real world applications. I furthermore seek to maintain a full-time position that offers professional challenges utilising interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills. Current postgraduate with honours in Applied Psychology for Professional Contexts. The study in this field was prompted my interest in how the human brain operates and further triggers response behaviours- predominantly the influence of learning on students as well as the factors that internally or externally influence an individual’s adaptation to their environment. I completed my Undergraduate degree with a triple major in English Literature, Psychology and Criminology. I completed my post graduate degree with a specialization in Applied Psychology for Professional Contexts. I am highly organized, passionate and determined. I have experience in both the CAPS and IEB education systems, including broad based experience in visual arts (practical theory and competition experience), essay writing, critical literacy skills and critical analysis skills. One of the most notable things I enjoy about learning is the intellectual fulfillment it provides, hence helping a student reach their full potential by adapting to different learning environments (face-to-face or online). Furthermore, I believe that additional skills in research positively promotes change and development within any academic or occupational practice. I am punctual, well-spoken and can easily communicate with others. I enjoy poetry, anthropological discussions of the human experience and works of literature such as Mrs. Dalloway, Nervous Conditions, Paradise Lost, and many more of the written word.
