Hi, I’m Jiya V Sharma. I’m a Psychology student at the University of Bath with a strong foundation in research methods, cognitive neuroscience, and real-world problem solving. I have hands-on experience in academic research, human resources, and social media management across India and the UK, and I’m passionate about applying psychological insights to solve practical challenges. I’m drawn to roles that blend analysis, communication, and people-centric work—content creation, writing, social media strategy, and project coordination. In my spare time, I’ve led a TEDx event and volunteered with NGOs, developing leadership, teamwork, and cross-cultural collaboration. I’m excited to contribute to teams that value curiosity, empathy, and impact.
