Summary

A dedicated and intellectually curious student, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) degree with a minor in Developmental & Community Psychology. This endeavour underscores my consistent commitment to understanding human behaviour and well-being.


Alongside my academic pursuits, I have further expanded my practical expertise through my current role as Scientific Technical Officer at the Queensland Institute of Medical Research Berghofer. In this role, I have amassed experience in the execution of neuropsychological tests scoring and coding, preparation of study-specific test kits, and have contributed to research projects through completing literature reviews.


My academic foundation, paired with my professional experience, has equipped me with a robust knowledge base and a keen analytical aptitude, positioning me effectively for progressive roles within psychology research and practice.
