Master of Finance (Financial Planning)
The excitement of starting Uni comes along with the new challenges. I understand and know how it feels to be a student, especially an international one. I have always advocated and defended fairness in every aspect of life. As a student in my first Sem, I faced certain unpleasant situations which affected my study. My leadership experience and awards (former Associate Vice President with a global bank and a current scholarship winner of the FAAA 2023 Congress Students and Emerging Professionals Sponsorship Program) taught me to have a forward thinking and always strive for solutions for myself and my fellow classmates. Then on, I was certain that I will advocate on behalf of every student, along with USASA, who supported me in my first sem.
My aim is to help every student to bring out the best in themselves by learning and exceling at their coursework, volunteering and participating in as many Uni activities as possible, and helping them become leaders in the global workforce.
Situated in the heart of the city, City West Campus is one of the best campuses you can ask for. We have the best of amenities and guidance, excellent student spaces, cutting edge studios with modern learning places and a host of student activities all at a stone's throw away from major attractions in the city. The campus also boasts of the Iress Trading Room & also has a gym and multisport courts. But, by far the best is the swimming pool. Ain't no campus got that! You can literally be here all day and get everything you need on this Campus.
Give off your best and make the most of all the facilities on Campus to help you in your personal & professional life.
Pub Crawl, Campus Fair, Year-end party, and all the multi-cultural festivals.
Good Food
I like to take a walk in the lovely green parklands of Adelaide.
David Solomon - CEO of Goldman Sachs - because not only is he leading a top Wall Street Bank by morning, but he also pursued his passion for music and was a DJ by night. All the proceeds from his passion went to charity.
ESTP because I enjoy interacting with new people, I am very factual & logical in nature, and I am easy-going and spontaneous.

I chose to become a student representative to advocate for student issues as well as make sure students have a voice to the university. I also want to make USASA events fun and enjoyable.
My main goal is to make university life as fun and engaging as possible with as many student-based events as possible.

I have always enjoyed the events that USASA has run during my time at university and I really wanted to have more involvement in these events so that other students can get the most enjoyment out of their time at university.
I want all students voices to be heard and recognized. University is a place where we are all equals and should all feel like we have the power to be heard and to believe in ourselves and our abilities to do great things.
City East is a cozy campus that has many hidden qualities that you wouldn't see just from a quick glance around. I love sitting in the quiet spaces of the library or the many student lounge and due to the close proximity of my classes I rarely am rushing around.
To remember to be yourself. University is a time for self-growth and self-discovery but it is always important to remember who we are and why we want to be here.
I'm hoping to attend as many as I can fit into my schedule but in the past I have always loved attending events such as the Wellness Market and RUOK events.
A hot cup of tea and two or three TimTams
I listen to a lot of music and podcasts which help me to slow down and live in the moment whilst also having fun belting out my favourite songs.
Probably a famous chef such as Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver because hopefully they would have made the food we would be eating. I also think it would be amazing to hear about how their passion for food made them so world renowned.

I want every student to feel heard and listen too in order to create safe spaces on campuses for all students
To give a platform for every student to have their voice heard however that may be.
There is so many beautiful outdoor study spaces
Say yes to every opportunity, some only come around once
All the pub crawls; I always leave them with so many friends and so many fun memories
Going for a walk with a good playlist playing
I journal for 5 minutes every day in the morning.
Princess Diana because she never backed down on what she believed in and worked so hard to make so many people feel safe and welcome no matter what

Bachelor of Communication and Media
Moving from the country to the city for university has been scary and hard. However, campus life has helped me to feel more comfortable at Uni and this is something I wanted to be apart of.
A positive and safe environment for all on campus, as well as more events to meet new people at Uni.
The Best thing has to be the ice chai, they are unmatched.
Don't be afraid to make conversation with people in your classes, some of my closest friends were once people I was scared to talk to.
I'd have to say Orientation week events, I first week quite fondly and I can't to be apart of that experiences for others.
Something that always puts me in a good mood is late-night chats with my friends from college and grabbing coffees down at the Cath as a mid-study break.
I do a lot of meditation and yoga, I get really stressed out and using guided sessions for both meditation and yoga helps me relax. Also, a good rant session with a mate is quite helpful.
100% Philip K. Dick. This man has inspired many of my artworks and passion for art and to be able to sit down with such a great man would be an honour. Plus I'm certain that he would be so funny.
I am an ENFP-T. I think that this suits me quite well, I’m definitely a free spirit and open-minded. Also creativity is a big part of my life and I love to kick back and have a good time.

Bachelor of Information Technology
I wanted to become a student representative with the aim of actively engaging in our university community. My motivation comes from a desire to address the concerns and needs of fellow students, working towards creating a safer and more enriching experience for everyone on campus.
As a Bachelor of IT student, I really like the Mawson Lakes campus because it strikes a balance between high-tech facilities and a relaxing natural environment. On one side, you've got all the modern tech and great study spaces for academics. But on the flip side, there are these spacious green fields where you can chill and take a break when needed. It's a cool mix of advanced stuff and a peaceful escape that makes studying here pretty enjoyable.
Prioritize time management and self-care. Balancing academics and personal well-being is essential for a successful university experience.
I'm excited about two UniSA events: Drag Night, a fun and artistic experience, and the Campus Fair, the best place to join clubs and make new friends.
Hanging out with my friends is always the best thing to bring me in a good mood, and relax.
I prioritize my mental well-being through a combination of practices that resonate with me. Meditation and regular gym sessions help me stay centered and physically fit. Seeking psychological support when needed has been invaluable in navigating life's challenges.
But it's not just about individual practices; I believe in the power of community and active engagement. Being part of activities and the local community is uplifting, and I've learned to say 'yes' to opportunities that bring a smile to my face.
If I had the chance to dine with someone, it'd definitely be Coco Chanel. Her fashion sense was way ahead of its time, focusing on simplicity, practicality, and sheer elegance. Believe it or not, those principles strike a chord not just with fashionistas but also with the tech crowd. Coco's timeless style and her knack for user-centric design vibes perfectly with the heart of the IT industry. Imagine chatting with her about how her design philosophy has seeped into the digital world, making user interfaces and tech products sleek and user-friendly. That dinner would be like a crossroads of fashion, tech, and design – a fantastic insight into how Coco Chanel's ideas still shape the IT world today.

Knowing that I can help out so many students by being a representative and be a source of putting their thoughts and opinions out is the motivation that drives me to be a student representative.
I want to work towards achieving equal level of opportunities for all students no matter if they are domestic or international, what course they are studying in or what campus they are from.
Situated alongside the Mawson Lakes, our campus has a very calming vibe where students can study as well relax themselves by taking a stroll along the lake whenever they need.
UniSA has a lot to offer so don't hold yourself back from trying out new things.
Campus Fair
A good coffee and a novel to read.
I try to keep myself invested in things I love to do especially when I am feeling down.
