I am a conscientious and confident psychology graduate with 5+ years of experience in promoting the psychological well-being and healthy development of children and adolescents. My passion lies in studying children's behaviour, cognition, social interactions, and mental health, supported by my empathetic nature and commitment to ethical conduct.Throughout my academic journey, I have developed expertise in various areas of psychology, including Research Methods, Developmental, Cognitive, Social, Abnormal, Biological, Personality and Applied Psychology. I have also acquired knowledge in supporting children with special educational needs, disabilities, and social, emotional, and mental health needs, including Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).In my practical experience as a Behavior Therapist, I worked with a seven-year-old boy who is autistic and has ADHD. I employed evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) techniques, collected data, and closely monitored his progress to overcome developmental and behavioral challenges, aiming to enhance his potential and quality of life. We achieved positive behavioral outcomes through this approach.Additionally, I have demonstrated expertise in designing and implementing engaging and educational activities suitable for young children. Creating a safe, nurturing, and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported has been a priority in my work.I excel in collaborative teamwork, closely collaborating with parents, therapists, and teachers as part of a therapy team. Through effective communication and a shared commitment to our goals, we foster a supportive and productive environment.Colleagues and managers consistently describe me as driven, empathetic, conscientious, communicative, organized, enthusiastic, energetic, kind, compassionate, and positive. These qualities reflect my dedication to making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and families.
