Bio
I am a happy, motivated individual who is passionate about people. I love learning, reading, art, connecting with others and devoting myself to making the world a happier place.
My very motivation to study Psychology has been based on my love for people; and reflects my devotion to living a more compassionate life that is beneficial to humanity. Last year, I mentored a first-year student through the challenges of tertiary education, and found our interaction immensely rewarding. I hope to continue my studies in Psychology, and become a counsellor.
