Amy Allwright

I have an academic background in psychology, hands-on experience in research, and strong communication skills which I have developed through various professional roles. I am eager to support students in their academic journey as I have been for the past 5 years.

I am currently in my final year of a BSc Psychology degree, which has provided me with well-developed knowledge around the subject and an eagerness to use this to help others. During this I have conducted numerous research studies, honing my skills in data analysis, critical thinking, and academic writing. Additionally, my role as a research assistant at the University of East Anglia has allowed me to work closely with faculty members, contributing to a study on dyadic interaction and gaining experience with eye-tracking software and data processing. These experiences have enhanced my ability to explain complex psychological theories in a clear and engaging manner.

Beyond academia, my diverse work history has provided me with many valuable transferable skills. My experience as a customer assistant at Mamas and Papas refined my ability to communicate effectively and tailor my approach to different individuals, ensuring that I meet their needs. Similarly, my role as an administrator required excellent organizational and IT skills, which would be useful in managing lesson plans and resources.

My passion for psychology, as well as my ability to simplify concepts and engage with learners, makes me a good candidate for this position. I am eager to help students by developing their understanding and confidence in psychology.
