Summary

Recently, I finished 5 years of study with a bachelor of criminal justice and psychological studies as well as a (honours equivalent) diploma of psychology advanced. I have learned many skills, competencies, and proficiencies in my studies, although I am eager to continue my learning pursuits outside of the classroom. The roles I have worked in have led me to have a strong teamwork ethic and to develop the ability to talk and actively listen to anyone, anywhere. I am looking to upskill and learn more by actively gaining experience in a position that I can make a change in and give back to the community around me.
