I love exploring new challenges in Australia. After completing my three‑year bachelor’s degree in New South Wales, I decided to move to the Northern Territory (NT) to pursue further education.

Leaving Sydney was not easy, as I had grown very comfortable there, but I wanted to seek new experiences. One day, I began thinking about exploring more of Australia’s vast landscape. Unlike many others who move to major cities such as Melbourne or Perth, I wanted to try something different. When I started learning about Darwin, its scenic views immediately caught my attention. The Northern Territory’s rich Indigenous heritage and unique wildlife further inspired me to choose it as my next destination.

As a Student Ambassador, I want to support other international students in finding study destinations that suit their interests and goals. So far, I have been enjoying my time in the NT, exploring its natural beauty and learning about its distinctive traditions.

In one of the most diverse and multicultural countries in the world, I look forward to meeting people and international students from all over the globe here in the NT. In my spare time, I enjoy playing soccer and tennis, and I am also keen on chess and e‑sports games such as Dota 2 and CS2.
