About Me
Hi, my name is Rachael and I am a third year student at the University of Canberra. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science (Psychology), with a major in counselling. My career interests are pursuing clinical psychology, with a specific focus in post traumatic stress disorder or eating disorders. I am fascinated by how the brain, mind and body work and am very excited to continue my studies into honours and masters in the coming years.

University Life
This semester I am taking four units.

I am most looking forward to the major projects in all units this semester, to really specialise and work hard on one topic through the semester. My ePortfolio, demonstrates some of my prior work over the past three years, including my five year plan and future goals.
 * 1) Motivation and Emotion
 * 2) Professional Evidence
 * 3) Health Psychology
 * 4) Social Psychology

Personal Life
Outside of study, I work full time as an executive assistant which has helped to grow my time management, communication and prioritisation skills. I also enjoy seeing my friends, running, baking and playing with my puppy, Toby (see figure 1).

Book Chapter I'm Working On
This semester I am contributing to Childhood Trauma and Criminal Behaviour. I will be exploring how youth trauma influences subsequent criminal activity.
