About me
My name is Ana Stuart and I am a 3rd year Psychology student studying at the University of Canberra. I am studying Motivation and Emotion and will be contributing to the 2023 Motivation and Emotion textbook.

I am passionate about psychology and the value of providing information in an accessible way to improve the lives of others. I am currently completing my training to volunteer with Lifeline as a telephone crisis supporter. I hope to complete Honours in psychology next year, followed by further study specialising in clinical psychology.
