Summary

I am currently a University student reading a course in Psychology. I am deeply fascinated by the relationship between mind and behavior, which essentially unerlies all our actions. Psychology is a subject which contributes to many aspects of our life and even though so far, my summer work experience is related to child development and care, I am eager to learn and gain experience in a diverse range of work settings.
