2021 will see me begin a two year Master of Clinical Psychology.

2020 was a busy year as I completed psych Honours, with a qualitative research project (Examining the Impacts of COVID-19 on the Social Lives of Older Australians) under the supervision of two incredible women (Dr. Tanya Machin and Professor Lorelle Burton). This results of this research used two theoretical frameworks to examine social connection: Baumeister and Leary's need-to-belong theory, and the social convoy model of Khan and Antonucci. I was thrilled to be the recipient of a research scholarship for the purpose of adapting my thesis for SCImago Q1 journal publication, and a Phoenix Award for extracurricular achievement.

2020 also saw Within the Mind's Eye's trademark accepted, after two years of application.
From 2017 to 2019 I was completing a Bachelor of Psychological Sciences, with a Major in Psychology Major, and a Minor in Advanced Psychology. Several interests grew out of my studies, and post-grad looks really exciting with the possibility of working with my chosen supervisor. I am particularly interested in clinical research; positive psychology interventions for anxiety, grief, self-esteem and determination; and treatment of PTSD arising out of diaspora from conflict zones.

With my background in radio and audio engineering I started to develop a series of guided meditations, based on the positive psychology work of Seligman and Haidt, for use by psychologists. I am continuing to develop this series so it can be used by anyone seeking self-guided relief, regardless of whether they are currently undergoing therapy or not.
In mid 2016 I edited the second edition, first English translation, of the agricultural biosecurity flora and fauna sustainability book 'The Red Book of Tajikistan' under a United Nations programme for the UNDP Solar Team, and the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.

As a media consultant and designer I have worked extensively with the same clients for several years.
For clients, who are international agricultural based consortiums, I have produced short films (Northern Western Australia, the Gulf of Carpentaria  and Sumatra), designed campaigns and media kits, produced print ready media advertising, and developed marketing strategies for national expos. Photography shot while working on a muster project at Minnie Creek Station was featured by National Geographic Australia.
I have freelanced for the West Australian's Countryman, and produced and presented two networked radio shows a day for Southern Cross Austereo. Freelance work outside my radio network won me the ACRA for Best Documentary.
Before moving into graphic design and broadcast media I worked extensively in theatre, appearing in the Melbourne International Festival of the Arts,  Melbourne International Comedy Festival, and at La Mama Theatre, the Carlton Courthouse, the Athenaeum 2, and The Store Room.

A playwright, my work has been published by Heinemann press, and produced in New York, Canada, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and Perth. 
I have held positions on the Board of Directors of Arena Theatre Company, the State Chair, National Chair, and sat on the International Council of Assitej (the international arts organisation affiliated with Youth Performing Arts Australia YPAA), as well as filling the Arts Industry Council's Theatre Chair for a year, among others.
