As a clinical and forensic psychologist, I have a broad interest in a variety of applied areas of research. These include: enhancing adherence to treatments; trauma, trauma reactions and resilience; autism and inclusive practices; diet and behaviour; brief interventions in early psychosis; suicide prevention; and consumer behaviour and antimicrobial resistance. The results of my research have been implemented across Australia, in the United States, the UK and the Republic of Ireland. I have been a lead researcher on category 1 grants. I was the recipient of the Autism Spectrum Australia (ASPECT) National Recognition Advancement Award and the Australian Psychology Society National Best PhD thesis award.
Almost 330 students will graduate today at a Charles Darwin University (CDU) graduation ceremony at Sydney town hall.
This graduation ceremony marks the 10-year anniversary of CDU’s Sydney Campus; over the last ten years the centre has expanded its offerings and is now graduating students across a range of disciplines including nursing and midwifery, IT, education, law, exercise and sport science and accounting.
About 250 graduands are expected to attend the ceremony who are being recognised for completing a range of degrees within Vocational Education, Degree Education and PhDs. Almost half of the graduates are from NSW with all others from across all states and territories.
As part of her Bachelor of Environmental Science, CDU student Erica Smith seized the opportunity to cross Brazil off her travel bucket list as she took part in the two-week Brazilian Amazon Field Intensive (BAFI) offered by CDU's College of Engineering, IT and Environment. Erica is currently half-way through her degree and determined to major in Wildlife Conservation. For the past five years, Erica studied part time so she could fit in her work schedule. Last year, she moved to Darwin from a remote community in East Arnhem Land to transition into full time study at Casuarina Campus and make faster progress toward completing her studies.
