What is your favorite travel memory?

elephant sanctuary in Northern Thailand

My favorite travel memory was discovering an elephant sanctuary in Northern Thailand where elephants who have suffered in the tourist trade or logging industry are able to live the rest of their lives peacefully in beautiful surroundings.

How have you changed/grown since working for your current company?

I haven't been here long but already I've learned a lot about the cultures of the students that come to WelTec to study. It has made me want to travel more and see a lot more of the world.

If you could go on any program that your company offers, which one would you choose and why?

I have biomedical science and psychology qualifications already, as I've always been interested in the health sector, so I would choose the Master of Professional Practice in Health and Social Sciences.

What makes your company unique? When were you especially proud of your team?

WelTec is unique because it has such an emphasis on practical learning. Our courses really prepare students for the work they'll be doing once they graduate.

What do you believe to be the biggest factor in being a successful company?

A successful company puts people first, both its staff and students.
