I’m a final-year Psychology student with a strong interest in applying psychological knowledge to real-world settings, particularly in areas involving youth engagement, mental health awareness, and community-based work. I have been actively involved in academic research activities and projects, which have strengthened my ability to think critically, analyze behaviour, and understand how theory translates into practice. While maintaining steady academic performance, I’ve also consistently taken on leadership roles that go beyond the classroom. My experience largely lies in event management and program coordination, where I’ve planned, organized, and executed multiple events and workshops. I enjoy working in fast-paced environments, managing teams, and ensuring that ideas are turned into impactful experiences. Conducting workshops and engaging with diverse audiences is something I genuinely enjoy, especially when it involves creating awareness and meaningful conversations. I’m also passionate about public speaking, leadership, and community engagement, and I’m always looking for opportunities that challenge me to grow both personally and professionally.
