Summary
Aspiring Clinical or Registered Psychologist, passionate about community service and youth empowerment, seeking to leverage my educational background and practical experience in psychology to contribute effectively in a clinical or registered psychologist role. My participation in the Ruhi Institute's Capacity Building Program provided valuable experience in community development and social impact. Through involvement in local initiatives, I cultivated a deep-rooted commitment to service and empowering individuals to contribute positively to their communities. This experience has solidified my aspiration to become a clinical or registered psychologist who not only provides therapeutic care but also actively engages in fostering social progress and understanding human growth. By combining clinical expertise with a passion for community development, I aim to create a holistic approach to mental health that addresses both individual well-being and societal challenges.
