About me

My name is Gabriella and my heritage is Italian. I enjoy reading, the wonder and awe of being out in nature and the experincing the joy of watching and being a part of someone learning journey, in my occupation as an Early Childhood Educator.

I am currently studying at the University of Canberra:

• Completing my final year of a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

• The unit I am undertaking is Motivation and Emotion.

Book chapter

I am working on the book chapter Flourishing - What is flourishing and how can it happen? I chose this topic because I would love to create environments where people are able to flourish. My goal for this book chapter is in helping others understanding what it takes to make their lives as nutrient rich as possible for optimal flourishing to occur.

I would love to hear your feedback and suggestions for improvement - please post on the chapter talk page.
