I came to Darwin in June 2018 to do my master's degree in Civil and Structural Engineering at Charles Darwin University. 
 

My life in Darwin has been remarkable from day one. I enjoy the amazing landscapes, warm weather, friendly people, and amazing food in Darwin. 
Australia is known as the land of opportunity and I rate Darwin as the pinnacle of it. Darwin is overwhelmed with many professional and volunteer opportunities. During my first summer break, I completed a formal internship as a structural engineering intern in a reputed civil engineering consultant company in Darwin.

Having demonstrated sheer passion, dedication and leadership, I was elected as a Student Ambassador for Engineers Australia Northern Territory Division for 2021-22, representing Charles Darwin University to promote the Northern Territory as the future centre for engineering. 

The journey as a higher education student in the Northern Territory has been amazing. I am extremely motivated to establish a hospitable atmosphere for students coming to Darwin and support them to have a splendid Territory experience.
