Master's in Social Work
I'm currently studying for a Master's in Social Work and am expecting to graduate at the end of 2025.
I wanted to become a student representative because this is such an exciting time with the merging of two universities, and I feel like it's a unique opportunity to be part of something historic. It's a chance to contribute to creating a strong, supportive community for the students of the university, and I'm quite excited about it.
I hope that in 2025, the UniSA students continue to feel safe, welcome and happy on campus. Campus should feel like a place where everyone belongs and I hope that all new as well as returning students feel that.
I’m from the Magill campus, and my favourite thing about it is how quiet, peaceful, and green it is. It’s such a relaxing environment, which makes it a great place to study and unwind.
Have courage and be kind - University life can be so challenging, but having the courage to step out of your comfort zone and trying new things can lead to so many new opportunities. And being kind - to others and yourself - can make this journey a lot more enjoyable!
Good food and laughs from catching up with friends and family instantly put me in a good mood. It’s the little things that really lift my spirits!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be Sophia Bush. She’s so fierce, a fantastic actress, and a strong feminist. I really admire how she’s able to juggle her advocacy work with her career in such an inspiring way. She manages to use her platform to raise awareness on important issues while still excelling in her job, and I’d love to know how she balances it all!
I would travel. One of the most life-changing moments for me was spending a year on exchange in Canada and traveling around the country. It opened my eyes to new perspectives and experiences. I’d love to continue exploring the world, meeting new people, and discovering places that challenge and inspire me.
