Q: Why did you decide to join Curtin?

A: I decided to join Curtin because of two things Firstly, the ranking of Curtin among the other universities When I was picking my education, I wanted to invest in a university with a good name so it can help with my career in the future Secondly, university accessibility This is because I live in Silicon Oasis, so I needed a university with near transportation so I can flexibly go to university

Q: What is your favourite thing about Curtin?

A: Mr Moses, I love his positive vibes, and I feel like whenever he’s in the room, it always lights up with positivity!

Q: If you could meet any person from the past, who would you meet?

A: My grandmother, this is because my grandma was one of the kindest people I knew, she would always care for me and look after me, but unfortunately she passed away when I was little so I was not able to enjoy all of my moments with her

Q: What are your plans for the near future?

A: I initially joined the university to be able to get an Australian degree. So in the near future, I’m planning to travel to Australia so I can finish my degree there and be able to explore different cultures
