Humans of UWA
Meet Sammy (she/her) – Neuropsychologist-in-training, avid gamer and proud dog mum to UWA’s resident therapy dog, Yoshi! Sammy is undertaking a combined Masters and PhD in Clinical Neuropsychology, has ambitions to become double certified as a clinical psychologist and is passionate about mental health and wellbeing.
When Sammy’s not working, studying or sneaking in a quick Legend of Zelda session, you’ll find her and Yoshi hanging out with UWA’s wellbeing team at The Living Room, where Yoshi has a furry important mission!
“Our role is to bring lots of happy floofy vibes, she is such a sweet dog and loves attention and pats! You can physically see how Yoshi improves someone’s day."
