Paramedic Science student Caitlin Peacock chose her career because she wanted to help people.

And she made the decision while she was in prison.

The 21-year-old Cairns woman shares how a car crash and subsequent criminal charges became the worst days of her life, and how determination to take a different path pulled her through.

Since completing CQUniversity’s life-changing STEPS program, she’s now on her way to supporting others on the worst days of their lives, too.

How to Change a Life is hosted by Mary Bolling from CQUni Communications. Music by CQUni alumnus Tristan Barton.
