I chose my degree in psychology after originally beginning my studies in another discipline in mid 2020 after the Paralympics were postponed. I was motivated to change from my original course to psychology because of its practical uses in everyday work. I had never done anything in the realm of psychology before university, so it was very challenging in the beginning, however, now at the start of my third and final year, I am proud to say that I recently received the dean's academic achievement award for my results in 2024.

The financial support offered by the ASC in this scholarship would mean a great deal to me and my life. I am studying full time to graduate this year, and I am also training full time at the AIS. These two pursuits do not leave me with a great deal of time for paid employment opportunities.
