Studying: 3rd Year majoring in Pharmacology with double minors in Women’s Health and Brain, Body, and Behaviour

Fun Fact: I am criminally addicted to eating Roll’d no matter how much money I have

About My Role: Kind of obvious but my role is to be big boss on Science Union, overseeing all of our events and portfolios and making sure that my committee and our members all reach the full potential of their time at university.

Whether its fighting for your education, or helping you to meet your peers and (hopefully) lifelong friends - I’ll probably be somewhere helping out. Despite all the stress, I’m always around so never hesitate to hit me up with some questions about anything UWA, Science, Clubs or even just random life stuff. Find me on campus, on social media or hit my email xx

Feel free to contact me with any questions you have - I know a whole heap about Science Union but I can also help out with chasing refunds and whole host of other things.
