B.Cog.Sci (Hons); PhD
Research Associate
Crime Research Centre
The University of Western Australia
I decided to go to university because I thought this would improve my chances of being accepted into the Federal Police.
When I'd completed my Bachelor degree, I still wanted to join the Police but was also enjoying studying, so I decided to continue into a fourth year. After Honours came a Ph.D., which was, once again, a course of action I had no intention of undertaking when I first entered UWA.
The reason my goals kept changing was due, I think, to the development of my understanding of possibilities for employment that I had no knowledge of before. As my awareness increased, my aspirations changed accordingly.
During my postgraduate studies I did casual work for a private research company, and was involved in undergraduate teaching within the School of Psychology at UWA. I also worked in the UWA Statistics Office, during which there was an opportunity for me to join the Crime Research Centre.
