A little about this mentor:

I transferred from a double degree of law and social science to my current degree because I am passionate about suicide prevention policy and clinical application (becoming a clinical psychologist part-time). I love rock climbing, people, any kind of creative event planning or gift creating, analysing all things poetry, people, movies, literature and even advertisements. Mostly, I am passionate about growing knowledge in order to see what gaps exist and being equipped to fill those gaps, being someone who crawls into a hole to help someone get out and reach their autonomous potential.

Further Leadership Skills: A part of The Academy, maths tutor for year 9 student, volunteer for youth organisation and on Teen advisory board for youth outreach and events in Western Sydney, member of Blackdog Institute and join monthly community of practice meetings, apart of suicide prevention monthly collaboratives with  reseachers and clinical psychologists, and other allied health professionals.

Parent or Carer: No

A little about their culture: I am Seventh-Day Adventist which is a Christian denomination that views Saturday as the Sabbath (day distinct from other days as holy and for rest). I am female and Caucasian.
