Education
I am currently Studying Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with a Major in Forensic Studies at the University of Canberra. My main interest within Psychology is Child Psychology, with a focus on developmental and learning difficulties. In 2020 I had the opportunity to go on an internship at a clinical psychology practice. During the time I was there, I had gained a lot of experience working with mainly children that had been diagnosed or to be assessed as having autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The experience cemented my aspiration to become a child psychologist.

Experience
Other than my experience on my psychology internship, I have also helped set up two new childcare business with my main job being advertisement, social media presence and admin. I have also completed psychology courses outside my degree to help further my knowledge in areas of interest such as: I also currently work as a supervisor which has given me a good understanding in leadership and communication with both staff and customers.
