Summary

I am a committed Mental Health Clinician with over 3 years of experience specializing in care for children and adolescents. My educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree in Social Work, which collectively provide me with a deep understanding of child development, educational principles, and advanced therapeutic techniques. This combination equips me to offer effective guidance and support tailored to the needs of young clients.

My career has been centered on pediatric and adolescent mental health, where I have worked extensively in roles focused on young children and teenagers. At Ramsay mental health clinic, I led initiatives to improve service delivery and provided high-quality clinical supervision. My approach integrates evidence-based practices, and I am experienced in implementing strategies that enhance care outcomes. I excel in building strong relationships with families, community organizations, and healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive support.

With exceptional communication skills, a thorough understanding of legal and ethical considerations, and a commitment to diversity and inclusion, I am dedicated to contributing to a positive and effective environment. I am eager to leverage my background and experience to make a meaningful impact on the mental health of young people at the Royal Children's hospital, Melbourne.
