Degree: Bachelor of Law & Bachelor of Arts (majoring in French and International Relations).
I am originally from country NSW; however I spent my high school years at a boarding school in Sydney. After year 12, I participated in the ‘Gap’ scheme, where I worked full time for a year in Oxford, United Kingdom. In 2006, I was awarded a scholarship to study at Bond and I have now been at Bond for 9 semesters. Over my time at Bond, I feel that I have experienced many aspects of Bond’s academic, social and cultural environment.
Goals for 2009/2010:
As President, my aim for the 2009/2010 HSA is to ensure that the association remains proactive, efficient and accountable. This aim will be achieved by ensuring that the HSA work effectively as a team. This will allow us to implement a number of new initiatives that are not only beneficial to HSS Students, but are also realistic and achievable.
