HDR contacts

"I am a PhD student in the Clinical Psychology program of the College of Education, Psychology and Social Work. My research focuses on trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. I am passionate about developing a self-guided intervention for trauma survivors that could also be expanded to culturally diverse communities.

"As a budding researcher, I believe that the University Higher Degrees by Research Committee plays a vital role in providing a stimulating environment for the students with adequate support and resources. In particular, I am keen to bring in a unique perspective to diversify the voices of the committee as an international HDR student and explore ways to improve the experiences of international research scholars at Flinders. Please feel free to contact if you have any concerns or queries regarding the committee or the HDR program in general."
