As a recent Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) graduate from Monash University, my passion for understanding the brain and how it shapes human experiences has driven me to pursue a career in clinical psychology. My key interest lies in working within private practice, where I can apply my skills and knowledge to make a tangible impact in mental health.I’ve gained valuable experience working with vulnerable populations through my roles in health and aged care, which has deepened my understanding of the importance of empathy in psychological care. Currently, I am volunteering with Lifeline, where I provide crisis support, and at Murdoch Children's Research Institute (COGNITION Study), conducting assessments and reports. I am also interning at the Be Active Sleep Eat (BASE) sleep lab at Monash, where I assist with research focused on the relationship between sleep and psychological wellbeing.My background also includes experience in retail, where I honed my communication and interpersonal skills—essential in both client-facing roles and collaborative work environments.I am dedicated to making a positive impact in the field of psychology, and I am excited to continue developing my skills and contributing to mental health and wellbeing in the community.
