About Me
I am a 3rd year psychology student at the University of Canberra, currently studying the unit Motivation and Emotion. I find this subject incredibly fascinating and can't wait to find out more about this field.

My Book Chapter
I am working on the 2017 Motivation and Emotion book chapter Anxiety and gender. This chapter explores gender differences in the experience of anxiety, why these differences exist and implications of these differences for maintenance, coping and treatment of anxiety. I chose this topic because anxiety is such a serious issue: representing the most prevalent mental health disorder globally, while also being highly comorbid with and a symptomatic feature of many other mental health disorders. In identifying even small things, such as gender differences in the experience of anxiety, this can provide significant implications for future research and approaches to anxiety and provide a positive and appropriate outlook for future considerations.
