The dedication, knowledge, and encouragement from my lecturers have been key to my journey. The self-directed and flexible nature of the education I received at Monash allowed me to explore my interests deeply and develop a solid foundation for my medical career. I’ ve also been lucky enough to learn alongside some incredibly passionate and diligent peers who’ ve helped keep me grounded and focused.
I am looking forward to carrying the values and lessons learned here into my future endeavors as a proud alumna of Monash.”
