I am a second year PhD candidate at the University of Adelaide within the marketing discipline. Having completed my bachelor's degree in psychological sciences, my doctoral research adopts a cross-disciplinary approach and unites these two research passions.Currently, I am focused on exploring student motivation in higher education and tertiary learning settings.
