Why did you choose to study in Brisbane?
I chose to study in Brisbane because I wanted to experience the city life, without being too far away from my home town. I love that Brisbane still has a coziness about it, so it feels familiar.

Why did you choose to live at Iglu?
I was looking into student accommodation and Iglu looked super hip and cool, and I had friends from high school stay here and they absolutely loved the Iglu life.

What is your favourite thing about being a student?
I am an absolute shopaholic so the student discounts are a major plus. Otherwise getting to know so many people with such diverse backgrounds!

I love to hang out with my friends. We are pretty much inseparable, inside and out of Iglu.

So you’re a Resident Leader. What’s your favourite thing about being an RL?
I love being able to interact with so many different people, and having such good workmates makes this a dream job. Brainstorming events then making them a reality for our residents is also super fun.

What is your favourite thing about Iglu?
I love the people. The office staff have helped make Brisbane feel like home, and I have made friends here that will be with me for the rest of my life.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
If all goes to plan, I’ll be teaching young children in 5 years, which is terrifying but also super exciting!

What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?
Don’t stay holed up in your room! As comfy as it can be, I made some of my closest friends by hanging out in common areas, and going to events!
