Research Assistant
Nicole has worked as a Research Assistant at the Centre for Human Factors and Systems Science since February 2018. In that time, she has had the opportunity to work on a number of research projects, involving Human Factors in transport safety and healthcare.
Nicole graduated with a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons), Class I from the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2022, where she also received a Student Leadership Award and a Commendation for Academic Excellence.
Prior to commencing her undergraduate studies, Nicole worked and volunteered for various community organisations, providing services to victims of domestic violence and vulnerable members of the community. She is also completing her PhD in Psychology under the supervision of the Centre, with additional supervision provided through the Sexual Violence Research and Prevention Unit. Her PhD involves the application of systems thinking-based approaches to address technology-facilitated coercive control in the context of intimate partner violence. The program is supported by a Research Training Program scholarship.
