Student Editor, University of Liverpool

I am a second-year psychology student with a keen interest in clinical psychology. I fell in love with psychology when I chose to study it for my GCSEs, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made. In my spare time, I volunteer with several charities to improve the mental health of others. In the future, I aspire to become a clinical psychologist and along the way develop my interests and learn as much as possible in the hope that I can help to make the world a better place for people experiencing mental illness.
