About Me
Hi, my name is Kate, and I am 24 years old. I am in my fifth year of study at the University of Canberra. I have completed a Diploma of Health and I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I am doing two majors: Counselling and Forensic and Legal Studies (Psychology). I am currently using my degree in the NDIS space, providing therapeutic intervention and behaviour support for clients across the lifespan. I am employed full-time as a Behaviour Support Practitioner for The Benevolent Society within the Southern Tablelands region.

Hobbies
At this stage, my focus has been my work in Out of Home Care and Disability and finishing my Bachelor of Psychology. However, to ensure that I have a positive work life balance I enjoy driving adventures, playing tennis, learning piano, building my makeup artistry business and drawing.

I am completing a Book Chapter on Hijack hypothesis of drug addiction.
I am enrolled in the Motivation and Emotion (7124) unit for Semester 2, 2023.

Topic - What is the hijack hypothesis, what is the evidence, and how does it help to understand drug addiction?
