About Me

I am a third year psychology student at the University of Canberra, currently studying a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, majoring in counselling studies. I am in my final semester of my undergraduate course and am aiming to continue my studies next year by undertaking honours. Due to having a passion for children with additional needs my goal is to then study my masters, with the possibility of specialising in school psychology. My current and future career aspirations can be seen through my e-portfolio. This semester I am studying Motivation and Emotion at the University of Canberra and am developing a book chapter within the Motivation and Emotion Book.

Hobbies

In between my studies i enjoy:

• Exploring national parks on horseback
• Spending time with my pets
• Skiing in winter

Book chapter I'm working on

I am working on the autism spectrum disorder and emotional regulation chapter. This chapter aims to explore the struggle between ASD and emotional regulation and assess the relationship between these two constructs. Through the exploration of emotion theories this chapter outlines how and why ASD impacts on emotional regulation.
