An accomplished Occupational Psychology Master’s graduate with a robust academic foundation in Psychology and Social Sciences, underpinned by nearly a decade of dedicated study and professional skill development. Possessing advanced understanding in counselling skills and substance misuse, as well as criminology insights, I bring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to the field. With a passion for business psychology, occupational psychology, HR, employment relations, and learning and development, I am adept at understanding complex human behaviours within workplace settings.
