Summary

I am passionate about supporting mental health and wellbeing, with a focus on inclusion, reducing stigma, and empowering individuals. I am currently completing a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Western Sydney University, where my studies have been enriched by practical experiences in community and mental health support.

My role as a Mental Health Support Worker, Placement Coordinator and as a volunteer for support programs has highlighted the importance of creating safe, respectful spaces where individuals feel understood and supported. These experiences, together with a reflective approach and cultural awareness, continue to shape my journey in psychology and motivate further growth through postgraduate study.
