About me
I am Lynn Rackley. I am currently in my third year of a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) at the University of Canberra. I'm currently working in human resources, however am studying psychology to build upon my many years of experience in counselling and welfare. I am contributing to the 2021 Motivation and Emotion Book. I am passionate about physical and mental health including the beneficial effects of mindfulness and exercise. Originally from the UK, I savour the four seasons of Canberra. I'm happiest walking in the mountains and around the lakes. I have a 1970s architecturally-designed home which is set in the bush and takes some TLC.
