MSC EARLY INTERVENTION IN PSYCHOSIS, KCL
 

Having experienced first hand the lack of mental health services within Muslim communities in Birmingham, my dream has always been to help those who are less fortunate and with limited access to such services.

I recently graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Psychology with Study Abroad. I am aware of the progress that has been made in regards to widening awareness of mental health issues amongst people of colour, whilst also learning about the progress that is still to be made.

I will be specialising in psychosis disorders during my Masters, whilst gaining the clinical experience necessary for a career as a clinical psychologist, by working with patients at South Maudsley Hospital.

In my spare time I like to document the journey of achieving my academic goals on Youtube and hope to inspire Muslim women to strive for whatever dream they may have – however big or small.
