years of professional experience
Dedicated professional with expertise in youth mentoring and team building. Known for effective communication skills and fostering a supportive environment, driving engagement and success in recreational and sports settings. Have a passion to know more about youth development especially in the education sport environments which is my reason for studying psychology. Mental health is very important and it starts from a young age so I want to continue studying on that development and be a mentor to the next generation.
