Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Diploma of Languages (French)
I am studying a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a Diploma of Languages (French), and I expect to graduate at the end of 2025.
I became a student representative to continue giving back by ensuring students’ voices are heard, particularly during changes like the upcoming university merger, and to advocate for a positive, inclusive, and enriching campus community. As an executive member of a student club, I’ve enjoyed supporting students, collaborating with USASA, and enhancing the university experience - something I’m passionate about continuing in this role.
In 2025, I aim to work towards having all UniSA students feel supported and their voices heard, focusing on representing those from smaller campuses like Magill during the university merger. I also want to help build a more inclusive campus community and work towards improving access to resources and support for all students.
I’m based at Magill Campus, and my favourite thing about it is its calm atmosphere. I love studying outside in the sun on nice days—and occasionally spotting a koala!
Have a go! What you put into your uni experience is what you’ll get out of it. Even though I get nervous, trying new things has helped me meet amazing people and learn valuable skills. Everyone feels nervous, but it’s always worth stepping out of your comfort zone.
Good music or a great playlist always puts me in a good mood. Otherwise, I love spending time with my two dogs, especially after a long day at work or uni.
I would choose Deepika Padukone to discuss her career in Bollywood, her advocacy for mental health, and her journey of self-empowerment. I find her work in breaking the stigma and raising awareness about mental health, as well as her film career, very inspiring.
I would likely work in a role where I can give back to others or help them grow, probably in psychology or teaching, as that aligns with one of my core values.
