ACADEMIC BACKGROUND

Sophie recently completed her Honours in Psychological Science and plans to pursue a Master’s in Clinical Neuropsychology. With experience in allied health and a strong interest in cognitive functioning and brain-behaviour relationships, she is passionate about supporting individuals and continuing to develop her clinical and research skills

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I have experience working in allied health settings, supporting both clinical and administrative responsibilities. This has strengthened my organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to manage competing tasks in a professional environment. I am comfortable working independently while also collaborating closely with clinicians to ensure smooth day-to-day practice operations.

I value reliability, clear communication and maintaining confidentiality at all times. Outside of work, I enjoy continued learning and staying engaged with developments in psychology, as well as maintaining balance through time with family and friends.
