About me
Hi, I'm Clare. I am studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology at University of Canberra, part time. I live in Canberra and enjoy spending time hiking in the surrounding national parks and heading to the coast whenever I have the opportunity.

I am interested in one day working in the field of Forensic Psychology. I am currently undertaking a unit of study in Motivation and Emotion. I find this area of psychology very interesting as I often wonder what motivates people to strive for change, to improve their livelihoods, to contribute to society, or not. Emotion is also an intriguing topic as it is so vast and complex and varies greatly between individuals. I would like to better my understanding of both topics and how their are interconnected.
