About Cassandra
I am a PhD researcher and part-time teacher within the School of Psychology with specific interest in memory and intentional forgetting.
Prior to my exploration of the psychology field, I was involved in research within the biology field, focusing on topics within comparative anatomy/morphology. Marrying these two passions was the foundation for my interest within neuropsychology, eventually pushing me to move outside the comfort of my home country in pursuit of this.
Being raised by teachers, I have an innate interest in education and student development. I am passionate about the part-time teaching work I do within the School of Psychology, particularly the student engagement I get through the Foundation workshops I lead.
