Karen Gould was awarded the 2015 Australian Psychological Society prize at a post-graduation at the University of New England.
Ms Gould said she was “blown away” by the award especially given the excellence of her peers.
“They’re an amazingly diverse group who brought a huge range of life experiences to their future careers in psychology,” Ms Gould said.
“For that reason I was extremely surprised and honoured to be awarded the APS prize.
“My psychology degree was a labour of love across several years and two continents, and to have that work acknowledged like this is very moving.”
The external psychology graduate said her study experience at UNE was a testament to the quality of the educational provider.
“I don’t know if there is any other university who offers such a great experience to external students and the lecturers are very passionate,” Ms Gould said.
