Mariel Fernanda Pinto Ballena, st

I am a Psychology student, currently completing my internship at a neuropediatric clinic, where I participate in the assessment, support, and care of children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders, strengthening my clinical, ethical, and interpersonal skills. My training is characterized by discipline, resilience, and a deep interest in understanding the human mind from a scientific, empathetic, and responsible perspective. Throughout my university career, I have sought to integrate psychology with science and innovation. I am part of a multidisciplinary project developed in the FabLab, alongside faculty and students from various disciplines, aimed at estimating the relationship between stress and academic performance using a wristwatch-type device. This experience has allowed me to apply psychological knowledge in real-world technological contexts, strengthen collaborative work, and develop analytical and academic management skills. Simultaneously, I collaborate on academic research linked to the University of Salamanca (Spain), thanks to a recommendation from a professor at my university, supporting the master's thesis project of a researcher. This experience has strengthened my skills in theoretical review, academic analysis, and working within international methodological standards. I am characterized by empathetic listening, the ability to provide support, ethical commitment, and leadership based on human connection. My career path reflects a comprehensive education focused on psychological well-being, continuous learning, and the responsible development of my professional identity in the clinical field.
