Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate professional with a BA in Psychology and Sociology, and I have completed an Honours degree in Psychology. As an aspiring Educational Psychologist, I am focused on pursuing a PGCE to gain hands-on experience in the education sector. I am known for my willingness to push beyond my comfort zone in pursuit of both personal and professional growth. I am eager to make a meaningful impact on students’ well-being by applying empathy, my academic knowledge, and my passion for educating young minds.

I also have strong experience as a professional childcare provider, where I have nurtured and educated children in safe, engaging, and structured environments. I work well in collaborative team settings and remain focused on achieving positive results. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and adaptable to changing needs. I am also skilled in communication, conflict resolution, and time management.
