Hi my name is Caitlin and I am a student ambassador at La Trobe University. I currently study a Bachelor of Human Nutrition and I hope to work in nutrition research.

I enjoy being a student ambassador because I love meeting everyone and working alongside all the other great student ambassadors. Being a student ambassador is also a great way to give back to the La Trobe community and to get involved with likeminded people.

I love talking to people and motivating others to pursue a career in nutrition and the health industry.

My advice for future students is to talk to as many uni students as possible about what path they took for the course they do. Make sure you attend Open Day as well, and ask as many questions as you can and need.

La Trobe Uni is a great place to study Health Sciences. Working in the labs is great and you meet so many people that share your interests. The lecturers are always happy to help you get to where you want to be and the ducks on campus are a cute bonus.

It is definitely worth attending Open Day’s. It’s a fun day that gets you excited about a big decision in your life. Ask every question you can to help you make the right choice for you. Everyone at La Trobe is unique and their pathways to get here are as well.
