About Me
Hi! My name is Natalie Ford.

I am a 3rd Year student studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Canberra.

My current career goal is to become a registered psychologist and specialize in Music and Arts Therapy. Check out my e-Portfolio for more on my studies and professional aspirations or my YouTube Channel for some of my creative work.

Hobbies:
Along with my interest in psychology, I have always been passionate about music and the performing arts. Some of my longest and more recent adventures in this include:

FUN FACT: Before I decided to pursue a career in psychology I wanted to work with animals either as a veterinarian, zoo keeper or conservationist, however, I decided to change career paths after I found out I did not like needles...
 * Theatre
 * Songwriting
 * Pole Dancing

Despite not working with them directly, studying and understanding animals is still relevant to my current pursuit in psychology, with many famous theories coming from studies on animals (e.g. Pavlov's Conditioning and Charles Darwin's Theory of Human Evolution).

Pets:
A potential explanation for my initial desire to work with animals could be due to my wonderful furry (and not so furry) friends. Some of these include:


 * 1) Floyd, The Australian Bulldog
 * 2) Fish (Tropical)
 * 3) Sandy, The Cat
