LiA Reflection- Lessons from Latin America
My leadership in action involved collaborating with IRRI, and organisation which rural and low-income communities with the objective of improving the quality of life through generating environmentally sustainable solutions to the challenges faced by these communities.
Our project aimed to raise awareness of the work of IRRI, to document and share the stories of their beneficiaries, and to empower local volunteers to make change within their communities.
An aspiring Clinical Psychologist, currently an undergraduate studying Psychology (Integrated MSci) at the University of York. I see a future in which mental healthcare is adaptive to an individual's cultural and personal needs. I am also interested in alternative/ complimentary therapies for treatment resistant mood disorders such as deep brain stimulation and psilocybin therapy. My current research involves working with a Prosopagnosic (face blind) individual to better understand how we both learn and recognise faces.
For my Leadership in Action programme, I am working with "MakeSense", an organisation based in Mexico City. I am developing a social empowerment project supporting rural communities in Mexico.
