Career change to UX Design

[Julia Howland]

I'm settling in Melbourne and want to make a change to UX Design. 

I have no prior design experience and looking to take a course at General Assembly to get a leg up.

I have my undergraduate in Psychology and worked briefly at an e-commerce agency a few years back (data entry, personal assistant, office manager, etc) and I wanted to do an internship at a design agency. 

Any pointers or advice on how to get things underway?

Thanks for your help!
