La Trobe is a very nurturing university and environment. La Trobe has provided an easy transition into university life – moving away from home can be overwhelming and I’m grateful for the support.
I have found the university to be extremely supportive towards the individual. All my tutors have helped me strive to understand the world around me and the many opportunities available to make a difference.
I completed my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science at La Trobe. It’s a wonderful place to learn and I particularly enjoy the strong sense of community. When I finish my PhD, I hope to take the knowledge and skills I’ve gained and apply it in industry.
