About me
I am Zoe Smith. I am a student at the University of Canberra, currently completing my third year of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree. I am contributing to the 2020 Motivation and Emotion Book for 2020.

Psychology has always interested me, even since studying it in high school. This influenced my decision to pursue psychology as a career. I am passionate about child and adolescent mental health, as I strongly believe early intervention is beneficial. Improving the mental health support that is available to rural communities is important, particularly relating to psychological interventions for addiction and severe disorders. I hope to help improve these areas of psychology once finishing my studies.

Besides psychology, I have an interest in other areas too and tend to research them quite extensively. These include:


 * Holistic health/naturopathy; and
 * Skincare

Regarding both of these areas, I have learnt to be educated and conscious of what I am putting into my body and on my skin. I have seen massive improvement in my skin and overall health after educating myself and then implementing that knowledge to my life. I have always said that if I didn't choose psychology as my number one interest and future career, I would have chosen dermatology or naturopathy.

The book chapter I am working on
The book chapter I am working on is the Omega-3 fatty acids and mood chapter.
