About me:
Hi everyone, my name is Ashleigh and I am currently studying Psychology at the University of Canberra. I am a part time student and currently in my fourth year, aiming to finish my degree by the end of next year.

I am very interested in broadening my knowledge on particular facets of psychology, some of my favourite topics include:


 * Criminal psychology


 * Mental health and well-being
 * Personality differences

Book chapter: Optimism and Depression
The topic i have chosen to research and gain a deeper understanding of for the Motivation and Emotion book is what kind of role optimism plays in depression. I had an excellent time researching for this chapter and found that this is a new area of interest for me. I can't wait to make my way through everyone else's chapters :)
