Speaks: English

I have a strong passion for psychological assessment, education, and human development. I hold an Honours degree in Psychology from the South African College of Applied Psychology (SACAP) and completed my Practical Psychometry training through the University of Johannesburg. I have experience administering and interpreting a range of psychometric assessments, with a primary focus on scholastic, educational, and career guidance testing. My work includes assessments of cognitive ability, academic functioning, learning readiness, subject choice guidance, and career interest exploration, supporting children, adolescents, and young adults at key developmental and educational stages. I also conduct occupational and recruitment-based assessments, including ability, personality, and suitability testing, assisting organisations in making informed, ethical hiring and development decisions. In addition, I have experience assessing psychological soundness and readiness for specialised and high-responsibility roles. I am particularly skilled in working with children and adolescents, where my calm, engaging, and observant approach allows her to build strong rapport and maintain focus throughout the assessment process. I currently work in affiliation with a psychology practice, conducting assessments within schools, workplaces, and clinical settings as required.

As a dedicated psychometrist with a year of experience, I specialize in educational assessments, with a particular focus on medico-legal and educational contexts. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding, as I believe that each individual has a unique story that influences their cognitive and emotional well-being. I provide a range of services, including intellectual functioning testing, neuropsychological evaluations, and behavioral assessments. These tools allow me to gain insights into each person's capabilities and challenges, ensuring that I can deliver tailored recommendations that support their goals. I understand that navigating the mental health landscape can be daunting, and I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where clients feel comfortable exploring their strengths and areas for growth. By leveraging my expertise in educational assessments, I aim to empower individuals, families, and educational institutions with the critical information necessary for informed decision-making. I am committed to helping my clients unlock their potential and fostering a path toward improved mental health and well-being.
