My interest in Psychology came from fascination with the subject, and from there it became more focused on mental health. As part of my graduate internship, I visited the Psychiatry Ward at a government hospital and seeing mental illnesses in their most severe and intense form, I realised that I wanted to work with it. In short, I felt that mental health was essential to how we lived our lives and I wanted to contribute to people living their best lives. I also realised that mental health was not seen as the essential part of the well-being puzzle - so I wanted to bring attention to it and support it.
