I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Western Australia (UWA), where I became especially interested in social psychology and conducting psychological research. Currently, I am continuing my post graduate studies, completing the Masters (Clinical Psychology) / PhD at UWA. My research is investigating misinformation and its influence on person impressions, testing the conditions necessary for the continued influence of misinformation. Prior to this I spent 15 years in state and local government working in media relations and communications. I also have a Bachelor of Commerce from Curtin University (2004).
