I am very excited to join St John’s because I am passionate about building positive and inclusive communities, and love being a part of one! I have a lot of experience in working in partnership with students to design and deliver extracurricular initiatives for the wider UQ student community to build an environment conducive of wellbeing and belonging. Having lived in a university college during my undergraduate studies in England, I have an appreciation for the challenges and many opportunities that this experience brings.
