• What are you studying?

  Bachelor of Laws (Honours) and Bachelor of Behavioural Science (Psychology)

• Why did you choose to study in Brisbane?

  To go to university there was no doubt that I would have to travel. I chose to study in Brisbane because it was closer than other options I had (ie – Townsville and Cairns). I also was attracted by the university (QUT) and what they had to offer.

• What’s your favourite thing about being a student?

  My favourite thing about being a student is learning new things and progressing towards my chosen career path. It is really interesting and you get some fantastic opportunities.

• What’s your favourite thing to do when you’re not studying?

  One of my favourite things to do when I’m not studying is to hang out with my friends. They always make me laugh and get me out of the apartment when I’ve been studying too much.

• What’s your favourite thing about Iglu?

  My favourite thing about Iglu is the amazing community and welcoming atmosphere. It is really a special place to live and certainly feels like a home away from home.

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

  In five years I see myself probably still at university as my dual degree is quite long. However, I would like to have a position in the legal field and started prepping for my graduation.

• What words of wisdom would you pass on to future Iglu residents?

  My words of wisdom to future Iglu residents is don’t be afraid to chat to your RL’s! We love to chat and if you have an idea for an event or activity that you think would be awesome don’t hesitate to tell us. We enjoy hearing feedback and what the residents think we should do next.
