Summary

I am a Psychology graduate (University of Melbourne) and current Diploma of Counselling candidate with a strong foundation in mental health, behaviour, and wellbeing, complemented by hands-on experience across healthcare, community, and operational settings. I am currently undertaking advanced study majors in Abuse Counselling, Grief and Loss Counselling, Child Development and Effective Parenting, Mindfulness-Based Therapies, Counselling Clients with Addictions, and Working with Children and Adolescents — building specialist clinical knowledge across some of the most complex and sensitive areas of counselling practice. I have demonstrated expertise in ethical practice, patient confidentiality, and trauma-informed communication through my roles as a Dispensary Technician and Medical Receptionist, with direct exposure to medication handling, PBS prescriptions, and sensitive health data management.

I hold current NDIS clearances, First Aid certification, and a Working With Children Check. My academic research background in sleep, media use, and psychological wellbeing reinforces my evidence-based thinking and analytical capability. I am committed to delivering ethical, person-centred support that upholds the highest standards of professional conduct.

Alongside my clinical and healthcare experience, I bring well-rounded office administration capabilities developed across multiple professional settings. I have hands-on experience in payroll processing, staff rostering, billing, invoicing, and insurance-related administration, as well as managing confidential medical records, prescription documentation, and patient scheduling. I am proficient in Microsoft Word and Excel and comfortable working within fast-paced administrative environments that require accuracy, organisation, and discretion. My combined exposure to medical reception, pharmacy operations, and business management gives me a versatile administrative skill set that complements my people-facing and clinical competencies.
