Summary

I am a recent high distinction graduate of the Bachelor of Arts, majoring in Psychology and Politics, and am due to begin my Postgraduate studies in Psychology at the beginning of 2024. I am specifically looking to immerse myself in within a private practice environment, as I hope to pursue a career in counselling psychology. My experience as a retail manager and operations manager adds a unique dimension to my skillset which I believe will make me a valuable addition to your team.
