Whyalla Student Rep

What are you studying and when are you expecting to graduate?

Primary Education (Honours) Whyalla Campus. Expected Graduation is 2026.

What made you want to become a student Representative?

Whyalla often does not have its voice heard on the USASA committee and our regional campuses are often forgotten particularly on social media to the point where most people I meet don’t realise Whyalla is a campus. Many of the programs available to the students of UniSA are highly city-centred and don’t work as well for the country campuses.

What do you aim to achieve for UniSA students in 2025?

My aim is to make knowledge of the UniSA Whyalla campus more wide-spread and to share the fantastic and unique opportunities that are associated with studying regionally that cannot be obtained whilst studying in the city. I aim to help the students of Whyalla gain better access to services and create more student engagement opportunities.

What campus are you from and what's your favourite thing about this campus?

I’m from the Whyalla campus and my favourite thing about it is the close community support that is available and that there is always a friendly face on campus. I love how you can always get a lot of support from the staff.]

What's your best piece of advice for your fellow students?

Use the resources you have available to you. University wants to help you succeed. They want their students to do well and there are a lot of resources out there for you to do just that. So reach out, speak up and find the support you need to reach your goals.

What instantly puts you in a good mood?

Chocolate, Stardew Valley or Skyrim, my partner, and going to the Uni to annoy everyone’s favourite person, Simone!

If you could have dinner with anyone - dead or alive - who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with anyone then I would have it with my partner, parents and all my siblings as it is very rare that we are all together.

If money was no object, what would you do with your life?

I would still be a teacher because I would get bored and I love working with students and helping them learn and achieve their goals but I would make time to travel, particularly to England because I would love to reconnect with my family that lives there and they have some fantastic tourism opportunities.
