๐ From international student to Student Experience Officer ๐
We're excited to welcome Jashandeep as our new Student Experience Officer.
Reflecting on her journey, she shared:
"Starting my journey as an international student at VU Brisbane was both exciting and challenging. Moving to a new country and adapting to a different academic and cultural environment came with many learning experiences, but throughout this journey, VU Brisbane became a place where I truly felt supported and connected.
During my studies in the Bachelor of Information Technology, I had the opportunity to grow not only academically but also personally and professionally. Being involved as a Student Mentor and Tutor allowed me to support other students through their own journeys, which became one of the most rewarding parts of my experience.
I am incredibly grateful that this journey has now led me to begin a new role as a Student Experience Officer at VU Brisbane. It feels very meaningful to continue contributing to the same community that supported me throughout my student life."
We're delighted to have Jashandeep continue her professional journey with VU Brisbane and support our students as they navigate their own journeys.
Please join us in welcoming Jashandeep to the team! ๐
