I completed my honours in Psychology here at UniSA in 2012 and my PhD in 2018. My area of interest is the health and well-being of universitiy students, in particular working university students. I have explored the role of psychosocial risks in both the workplace and university explore in the development of poor health and wellbeing otucomes for students. I also have a strong focus on work and organisational psychology in terms of work stress, and exploring the role of psychosocial risk factors in the development of poor health and wellbeing for the workers' and their organisations.For a list of my publications refer to my ResearchGate page.https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mikaela_Owen
