Summary
As a Psychology student at SACAP, I am passionate about understanding human behavior and mental processes. I have gained experience through research projects, workshops, and group discussions, building a strong foundation in psychological principles. As a First Responder with Magen David Adom in Israel, I provided medical care in high-stress situations and collaborated with teams for effective emergency response. I have also developed leadership skills through a self-development program.
Committed to high standards and results-driven methodologies, I excel in research, data analysis, teamwork, and problem-solving. Adaptable and proactive, I am eager to apply my knowledge to support mental well-being and organizational success.
