New semester. New energy. New interns behind the camera bringing your La Trobe student stories to life.
Pranay Reddy – the techie with a creative twist 👨💻
A Computer Science student majoring in AI and Cybersecurity, Pranay lives at the crossroads of code and creativity. Outside the lecture halls, you’ll find him curating stories, snapping reels and quietly judging croissants based on fluffiness and Wi-Fi speed. With experience in retail, mentoring and IT support, he’s all about sharing the kind of content that feels like “Yep, that’s exactly what I needed today.”
Expect fun, relatable content that captures real campus life, chaos and all.
Mustansir “Monty” Merchant – the storyteller who talks for a living 🎤
Monty is a Master of Sport Management student, a residential leader, a former Momo entrepreneur and a passionate volunteer. He lives on campus, loves board games and might be La Trobe’s biggest nature fan (he’s still chasing a fox photo). Monty thrives on connection – whether it’s through memes, interviews or heartwarming moments most people walk past.
His mission? Make every student feel seen, supported and celebrated.
From relatable reels and café recs to campus hacks and wholesome vibes, Pranay and Monty are here to bring you stories worth scrolling for. Hit that follow button on the @MyLaTrobe Instagram account and come along for the ride, it’s going to be a good one.
