Outside of work, Rebecca enjoys cooking, spending time outdoors with her partner and senior dog Kurt, watching nature documentaries, and experimenting with her hair colour. She is currently completing a Master of Brain and Mind Science at the University of Sydney, with plans to pursue further research in sensory modulation.
