My Educational Journey
During my time studying, I have developed a strong passion for academia. I get a lot of enjoyment writing reports, and having the opportunity to conduct dissertation studies - I feel that a lot of it comes naturally to me at this point. While I am comfortable with my academic skills, I am actively seeking work experience and job roles to help me fill in some gaps that I need to grow as an aspiring psychologist.
Master's degree in Clinical Psychology
September 2023 to September 2024
University of South Wales - Treforest
​
At the University of South Wales, I am currently studying a master's degree in clinical psychology, full-time. For my final dissertation project, I am using a mixed methods approach to investigate children's emotional reactions to costumed characters. This research stems from studies relating to coulrophobia and pediophobia - the fear of clowns and dolls.
Bachelor's degree in Psychology
September 2020 to June 2023
University of South Wales - Treforest
​
At the University of South Wales, I studied a bachelor's degree in psychology, full-time, for three years. Studying interesting and heavy topics, from forensics psychology to psychological disorders, my psychological literacy has expanded, allowing me to have a wide and diverse scope in the world of psychology. For my final year dissertation project, I investigated coulrophobia, the fear of clowns, and found out more about why people may fear clowns, and why they find them uneasy to look at.

I have become fully flexible in most Microsoft Office applications, and have developed useful skills in website development and coding.
