Summary
With great enthusiasm and curiosity, I am a passionate learner who has spent eight years studying psychology and two years learning about online intimate relationships; however, I am still learning more about individuals and their relationships. This field has become my true passion, and I have a strong interest in both research and counselling.
Being a full-time scholar, I find myself lucky to dedicate some of my time to engaging with and supporting elderly adults, whom I deeply enjoy assisting. It’s true that I am learning a lot from them, as getting connected with them brings me joy. I believe in helping and improving the well-being of the communities and individuals I work with, and I’m constantly inspired by the wisdom and experiences of the elderly.
