My interest in patient well being and systematic healthcare has motivated me to pursue a career in psychological and pharmacological support. At King’s College London, I had the opportunity to explore these interests further through my Master degree in Addictions at the institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience. 

I would be happy to answer all your questions about the school, my studies, student life, or anything else.
