Meet Your Committee Members
Diya Narang
PresidentHey everyone! My name is Diya (she/her), your FPSA President for the year! I’ve journeyed through FPSA as the Events Director and the VP, and I couldn’t be more excited to lead the charge this year. FPSA has truly been my sanctuary at Flinders, fostering connections and a sense of belonging among like-minded peers.
As President, my goal is simple: to cultivate a space where every member feels embraced and empowered. Whether you’re seeking academic guidance, a friendly chat, or opportunities for personal and professional growth, FPSA is here to support you every step of the way. So, don’t hesitate to say hi whenever you spot me on campus, or feel free to drop by the FPSA office for a chat about anything under the sun.
Let’s embark on this journey together, making memories, connections, and creating a community that uplifts and inspires. Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!

Danielle Reed
Executive AssistantHey psychology students! My name is Danielle (she/her) and I’m the Executive Assistant for FPSA. I recently graduated from the Flinders psychology honours degree and I am studying the Master of Counselling (Behavioural Health). I am all about being resourceful and helping people find tools that will be helpful for tackling challenges.
Last year I was the Executive Assistant, and Education and Careers Officer. I worked on the survival guide, put together a recommended electives list, and started a petition to increase funding for opening more spots in psychology master degrees. I also created a new website, organised an ABN number, created new email addresses (flindersfpsa.com emails), managed online Flinders Psychology communities, and more… In the year of 2021, I was a General Committee member who contributed with ideas and also maintained the FPSA LinkedIn page, Twitter page, and Discord server.
Lauren Ellis
TreasurerHey, I’m Lauren. This is my second year on the FPSA committee, last year I was a general member and I am now treasurer. I am in my third year of a Bachelor of Psychological Science.
My first year on campus felt very lonely and isolated. Having joined FPSA in my second year, all of that changed. The committee is a lovely welcoming bunch of people and it really helped with the feeling of belonging at university. My goal this year is to help the committee help other students who may be feeling isolated or lost at uni.
Luke Klindzic
Wellbeing OfficerHello!!! My name is Luka and I am the FPSA Welfare officer. I’m a 3rd year Psychology student and this is my 2nd year in the role!
In my role I organise events for the university community as well as FPSA team bonding activities and maintaining morale! Go team 🙂
I love music, dance and doing my best to stay healthy (it’s tough out here though). One thing I have really stepped into recently is connecting with my Croatian heritage and it has been very rewarding.
I almost live in the FPSA office (SSN101), so come over and say hi! I will absolutely make time for you.

In my role I will be helping with increasing awareness of the resources, support and events that FPSA provide!
I am someone who is very much into music, and am quite the concert goer. If you see me around campus, I’m always down for a chat about literally anything. There’s nothing that doesn’t interest me, from weather to a difficult assignment. I am happy to chat and get to know you! 🙂

Colette Le
Director of sponsorshipHello lovely people. I’m Colette, currently in my second-year of Bachelor of Psychology. I am FPSA’s Director of Sponsorship for 2024.
I first joined FPSA in 2023 as an Activities Coordinator, when I helped putting together the FPSA annual Ball, the Mixer and the Seminar Series for First Year students. I also worked on our first ever podcast with an amazing Psychology lecturer, coming out jolly soon (please stay tuned for the podcast premier!).
I love being a part of FPSA because of the amazing community that we build here, where students from different year levels and all walks of life gather together to build something from our common experience of being Flinders psychology students. My vision this year is to expand FPSA’s supportive inclusive community and increase our presence on campus through social events, because I believe our university experience as students will greatly improved if we feel more connected to our peers, our lecturers and our universities.
My favourite part about studying psychology is reading brain-twisting journal articles and finding out about all the exciting research and actions in the field. Outside of work and studies, I enjoy exploring cool restaurants and cafes, op-shopping and endless yapping sessions with my friends.
