NIKITA NATH

I genuinely believe in a quote Haruki Murakmi wrote, "If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking." So, I live in the world of books most of the time and immerse myself in them. Books are what have made me who I am; learning is what keeps me going. Other than when I am not reading a book, I am working towards my passion of Psychology. I really believe that Psychology or the mental health field in general has a lot of scope for learning, development and research and I want to put my efforts into these areas. Research is a field I am immensely interested in because it requires so much academic involvement as well as a space to inculcate my personal efforts into new areas or interests. I am a people person and have appropriate social skills . Being an Army child has helped me be a very adaptable person, so I don't shy away from working with different sets of clients or individuals; I can adapt suitably to different situations. I like working with different people, but working with children makes me the happiest. Hardwork, consistency and honesty are the three things which could be expected from me undoubtedly; if I have any shortcomings while working, I will be more than happy to work on those and improve myself. Consistent self-development is my ultimate goal for life.
