I’m hoping to study veterinary science because I’ve always loved animals and wanted to help them. Emmanuel College has taught me the importance of drive, passion and determination, and success for me is being able to look back, be proud of who I’ve become, and know that I’ve made a difference.

I am excited to be moving to Perth to study at the Western Australia Academy of Performing Arts. Across my time at Emmanuel, there’s been countless opportunities for me to delve into that world, and it all clicked that this is something I want to keep doing as I take this next big step.

I will be studying Law and International Relations. Through my experiences, I realised that everyone needs some form of help, and that’s the space I want to be in. Success for me would be being able to look back and say I helped people, while staying steadfast in my values and challenging what is wrong.

I will always remember the New Zealand trip as a standout highlight. I experienced the Emmanuel Compass in action in Cambodia, an experience that deepened my sense of connection and purpose.
