During high school I participated in the Indigenous Australian Engineering School camp, which allowed me to explore university life, and my Torres Strait Islander culture drew me to study marine and environmental ecosystems at Curtin.
I really enjoy the practical aspect of my course and the fieldwork opportunities, which are crucial to gaining professional connections. I completed a vacation program in the Pilbara, working alongside environmental advisors on dingo management, as well as turtle monitoring and rehabilitation of native flora and protected species. After I graduate I’d like to have a career in marine conservation, working alongside Indigenous Peoples.
I’m also a member of the Curtin Divers club, and gaining my scuba ticket has both increased my passion for marine life as well as my employability.
