Hey there! I’m Liz. I got my BSc in maths and physics, my BSc (Hons) in maths, and my MSc in maths from the University of Auckland. Now I’ve jumped the pond to do a PhD in maths here at the University of Adelaide! You might recognize me as a tutor for some of the second year applied maths courses last year, or as a tutor for the Maths Learning Center this year (I’m the one with the funny accent that’s almost South Australian). I also happen to be the Vice President of the Pride Club. Outside of uni I enjoy video games, Warhammer, and I’ve recently gotten into 3D printing.

I came out over a decade ago as an older teen, and I’ve had the terror experience of feeling the shifting attitudes towards our community during that time, which has definitely had an impact on me as a person. Although in the last few years I made the excellent decision to trade internet arguments for more meaningful advocacy, which is something I do not regret at all. What we have to say about ourselves is far more important than what other people have to say about us, so luckily this year we’ve got a jam packed Queer Dit filled with thoughts and stories from our community!
