Hello! My name is Jess, and I would love to be the HDR representative for the college of science. I am a member of the ticket called Empower and our main aim is to improve both the academic and social experience at ANU for all postgraduate students. If you would like to learn more about our team and our views, you can visit our website and you can follow us on Instagram and Facebook
I am a first year PhD student in Earth and Marine Sciences, researching the changes in past climate. I am a bright and enthusiastic first-year student and I think that my experience brings a new, fresh perspective into the role of HDR representative for the College of Science. I started my PhD in March, and since starting I have volunteered for a number of PARSA events, and science run events I believe that issues such as milestone reporting, transparency, and providing improved support for PhD students from increased socialisation to issues within the academic process are important to address and imperative to science PhD students. Most importantly, I would like to be able to take on HDR student opinions and ideas for improvement and to facilitate the conversation for transparency within the HDR candidature.
