What do you do, day-to-day?
I meet with students who have issues related to their studies at Flinders or life in Australia. I provide advice on how students could overcome the barriers or difficulties they face.
I refer them to other service providers at university – or outside university if necessary – and liaise with academics to assist the students with their studies. I design activities and events for students to help them socialise and develop professional skills.
What’s the best part of your job?
Getting to know our students!
Why they chose what they are studying
What their goal in life is
What new ideas they may have
Notice how they grow in terms of professionalism
Where’s your favourite spot on campus?
The library – walking through the book aisles, randomly picking up a book from a discipline I am not familiar with and spending a few minutes reading the book.
What’s your Adelaide recommendation?
Enjoy the blue sky, beautiful beaches, friendly people and good quality of life here in South Australia.
Do you have any advice for prospective international students?
Believe in your powers, enjoy growing personally and professionally overseas and take pride in your cultural identity.
