12) About the Writer: Writing Effective Writer Biographies

Daphnie is a verified listener on 7cups, with a passion for social sciences and Philosophy. She began her endeavouring journey as a listener on 7cups, through the eyes of a child; eager and inspired by the works of all the other listeners and mentors she came across. Having attained a degree in Psychology with Marketing, she harboured a keen interest in taking mental health to the world, and contributing to making it accessible to one and all. Alongside other dedicated researchers and psychologists, she works across fields of social psychology and Marketing. She has a stark inclination towards mental health topics such as social anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues to name a few; and she is almost always looking for ways to reach out to people who want to be heard, and those who are unable to find the voice to speak out, and help them find that voice.

On 7cups, she is a Forum Supporter in the Positivity and Gratitude Community; where she posts weekly discussions in certain forums and revels in engaging with members. Additionally, she is a Building Community Programme graduate and a current 7 cups intern. She has also contributed to Q&A’s pertaining to various mental health subjects; especially social anxiety and depression. When she is not busy working on various research papers and content, you would find her nose-deep in romance, mystery or sci-fi books, strumming away on her guitar to a song she was inspired to write, or painting just about anything she visualises within her mind.

- Authority: I have included links to my profile, the course I have graduated from and am interning in. Additionally, I have included links to the Q&A’s I answered. I also included a wiki link to 7cups and links to the definition of the specific topics I work with.
