i have been a support worker for 2 years, previously working in customer based jobs through retail and hospitality. my current position helps me gain rapport with clients along with helping them develop beneficial changes in their lifestyle and improve their independent living skills, and personal development skills. using skills through my psychology degree I have been able to put theory into practice when working with different disabilities, and multiple disabilities in individuals. i have helped one client push themselves to finally reach the top of the climbing wall in one shift and help one autistic client to make helpful and money-saving changes to his lifestyle. throughout my time in university I have gained a passion for events planning by being social and events coordinator for Edinburgh Napier pole fitness, planning socials for members to meet and become a cohesive club. I have also been the main coordinator for the social sciences ball 2022 for Edinburgh Napier students, planning a casino fundraiser for the local charity Steps to Hope, a homeless support charity, and planning the after-party in a local club for ticket holders. I have recently finished my dissertation which focused on the dark triad and its influence on online dating motives and the probability of deception being used in achieving these motives.
