I obtained my bachelor's degree in psychology at Bordeaux this year, specializing in clinical psychology: neuropsychology, psychopathology, and gerontology. My research during my bachelor's program focused on social cognition, which is the specialization of my university's laboratory. Social cognition encompasses all the brain functions that allow us to connect with others socially. My developmental psychology courses also taught me about the social and emotional development of a child to adulthood and the best ways to educate and promote the optimal psychological functioning of a child. I am particularly interested in emotions—understanding the best ways to accept them, avoid repressing them, and, most importantly, communicate them healthily to others to foster non-violent communication. I remain actively involved in scientific research to stay informed about the latest developments in psychology. Additionally, I completed two clinical psychology internships, which significantly deepened my knowledge and allowed me to make valuable observations and learn more about the field. I am highly skilled in writing in both English (with Cambridge certification) and French, as I live in France. During my bachelor's degree, I conducted three scientific research projects. I always write scientifically, citing my sources and presenting information in a simplified and clear manner for readers.
