I was born in a small town in England but escaped to Australia with my family when I was five years old and grew up surfing on the Gold Coast. After high school I moved to Brisbane where I completed a Bachelor of Information Technology and a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) at The University of Queensland in 2006. I decided that science and research were definitely my thing and so completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Psychology in 2007. I am currently working on my PhD at The University of Queensland and heading to UCLA in 2012 on a Fulbright Scholarship.
