Summary
As a psychology student, my goal is to become a registered psychologist working with children, especially those with developmental disabilities such as autism. I'm particularly interested in the areas of assessment, diagnosis, and evidence-based treatment. I hope to work in both school and private settings, where I can support not just the child, but also their families. I'm passionate about helping children grow and reach their full potential by building practical skills and offering education and support to the people around them.
