About me
I am a final-year undergraduate student at the University of Canberra, Australia, studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and majoring in counselling studies. One of the classes within my specialist major is Motivation and Emotion, and I am contributing to Motivation and emotion/Book/2023 by authoring a chapter on community resilience. Throughout this semester, I hope to gain a solid understanding of the underpinnings of why people think, feel, and do the things they do. Following graduation from my undergraduate degree later this year, I intend to proceed to an honours year and a Master of Clinical Psychology. Although I have lived in Canberra my entire life, I hope that my future studies will be able take me to new and exciting places where I can help people as part of my daily work.
