'A lot of people enter psychology with the intention of becoming a registered psychologist; but even if that isn’t your goal, there’s a lot of value in studying in human behaviour. I review Youth Justice’s systems and practices. I chose this career because I have a deep-rooted interest in human behaviour and a passion for youth justice. The best part of my job is identifying areas for systemic improvement within our organisation. This has a huge impact, and it’s rewarding to see my individual impact on a larger system.'
