The best part of the internship was helping launch the very first VR therapy day at the Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) program at North Cottesloe Primary School – this was the first time VR had been introduced in this way in an OSHC program in Perth, and I was able to help lead it! Seeing the kids so engaged, curious, excited and smiling was incredible, I’ll never forget that feeling of watching something I’d researched come to life in a way that made a real difference.

Working with the McCusker Centre for Citizenship broadened my understanding of the law as just one part of a wider social ecosystem. That perspective has stayed with me and continues to shape how I approach research, policy and reform.
