Prague, Czechia
I am a Psychology student at UNYP in Prague with a genuine curiosity about people, their stories and what shapes their behavior. Rather than defining myself too early, I actively explore different areas of psychology through internships and hands-on experience. From long-term work with children and families to internships in mental health and addiction services, each experience helps me better understand where I can bring the most value. At the same time, I have gained experience in client-facing roles and in supporting the launch of a newly opened studio, where I was involved in organization, communication and event preparation. These experiences showed me how psychology, leadership and business environments naturally intersect. Spending a year in the United States strengthened my independence, adaptability and confidence in new environments. I am naturally empathetic, open to feedback and motivated to continuously grow. I see my professional path as something I am intentionally building through experience, reflection and curiosity. With every new challenge, I become more aware of what I can offer and how I want to contribute in the future.
Working in a fitness studio keeps me close to something I personally value – movement, discipline and mental resilience. As a receptionist, I am the first point of contact for clients. I communicate with members daily, help them navigate services, solve issues and make sure they feel welcomed and supported. This role strengthened my communication skills, responsibility and ability to stay organized even during busy hours.
Alongside my studies and other roles, I have consistently worked both with children and in client-facing service positions: - Support in launching a newly opened Pilates studio (2 months) – assisting with organization, client communication and preparation of the opening event - Long-term babysitting (approx. 6 years) - Cooking classes in English for children (6 months, Riverside School, Prague) - Summer camp and children’s events - Catering & hostess roles (approx. 3 years) Working with children strengthened my patience, creativity and ability to connect with different personalities. Client-facing and organizational roles helped me develop professionalism, initiative and confidence in diverse social situations.
Spending a year in the United States as an au pair was one of the most formative experiences of my life. I cared for children in Washington DC and Colorado, became part of a new family system and learned to navigate cultural differences with empathy and flexibility. This experience deepened my independence, adaptability and interest in developmental psychology and family dynamics.
My first long-term job where I learned reliability, teamwork and customer communication. Working in a fast-paced environment helped me develop time management and the ability to stay friendly and professional under pressure.
