Yasmine is a dedicated and passionate psychology student in her final year at the University of Malta. With a deep-rooted interest in childhood behaviour, she has managed to gain her work experience in child development and care. This journey has reinforced her ability to create nurturing and engaging environments for children, fostering both their growth and creativity. Even though her experience at FSIB has begun quite recently, it has already been profoundly eye-opening, offering her a deeper understanding of the complexities of mental health and homelessness and the crucial efforts required to support both. 

Beyond her academic and professional pursuits, Yasmine finds joy in reading, particularly self-help books that inspire personal growth and reflection. Listening to music also plays an essential role in her daily life, providing both relaxation and motivation. With a strong passion for psychology and a genuine desire to help others, Yasmine is very eager to continue expanding her knowledge as well as experience in the field.
