Nikoletta (she/her)

Hi, my name is Nikoletta. In 2023, I will be commencing the fourth year of my Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) at Swinburne University in Hawthorn. After completing my bachelor’s degree, I plan to study a Master of Psychology (Clinical) which is a two-year degree.  

I am passionate about mental health and supporting people to feel safe and seen. During my studies, I have been involved with many aspects of mental health promotion including advocacy, peer support, and service design, particularly among LGBTIQ+ and youth populations.  

I hope to become a clinical psychologist and specialise in trauma recovery. Moreover, I would also like to work as a psychologist in school settings, as I enjoy working with children and adolescents. 

I would like to thank the donors behind the Bank of Melbourne Foundation for this wonderful opportunity. I am also grateful for the ongoing support and encouragement of The Pinnacle Foundation.
