Summary

I am a dedicated and compassionate Bachelor's of Psychology (Honors) graduate. Throughout my diverse work experience, I have developed strong interpersonal, problem-solving, and organisational skills. I have worked in various roles, including as an assistant in an architectural office, a sales associate, and a child support worker at a summer school. Currently, I serve as a social support officer at a homeless shelter, where I provide direct care and assistance to vulnerable individuals. I also volunteer at a youth centre, helping young people build essential life skills. My multifaceted background in both professional and voluntary settings reflects my commitment to making a positive impact and supporting those in need.
