Driven by genuine empathy and a passion for making a difference, I am committed to supporting others in their daily lives with respect and care. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Global Mental Health at the University of Glasgow, building on my psychology degree and hands-on experience as an Employment Specialist at Accord in the USA. There, I provided person-centred support for individuals with disabilities, learning to adapt my approach, encourage independence, and focus on each person’s unique strengths. My background includes living and working across India, East Africa, Central Asia, and the US, giving me valuable cross-cultural awareness and the ability to connect with people from many walks of life. I believe true care means listening, understanding, and empowering others with warmth and patience. With my communication skills and dedication to inclusion, I am well suited to make a positive impact as a carer or support worker.

My time at Accord gave me solid experience supporting people in the community. I helped individuals build essential life skills and grow in confidence, always focusing on their wellbeing and independence. I worked with people from all backgrounds, built trust easily, and treated everyone with dignity and respect. Safety and sensitivity were central in my approach, and I kept an open mind when adapting to changing needs or responding to any concerns. I’m used to keeping clear records, giving feedback, and staying connected with colleagues to make sure everyone’s needs are met. Flexibility comes naturally to me, whether something is planned out or a client needs extra support. I learned how important it is to listen, be patient, and encourage people to work toward their own goals. All these experiences mean I am well prepared to provide reliable, caring, and practical help as a support worker or carer, making a difference for every person I support.
