After completing a double degree in Psychology and Marketing at the University of Wollongong, I found that I had a very strong passion for psychology, and decided to undertake my honours year in Psychological Science. The research experience was highly enjoyable and rewarding, and this sparked my interest in starting a PhD. I was very fortunate to be accepted to commence a PhD in Clinical Psychology at UOW in 2018 and have loved the experience so far!
I am particularly interested in examining help-seeking behaviours in individuals such as emergency services personnel, who constantly help others but who often struggle to seek appropriate help for themselves. I am very much looking forward to the years ahead, and hope that my research will assist to improve the health and wellbeing of Australian emergency services personnel.”
