Hello everyone! My name is Sita and I study Juris Doctor at the College of Law. I am very excited to be running for the position of Coursework Officer. I moved from Malaysia to Melbourne in 2014 to pursue a degree in Politics and English Literature.
Social work has always been an important part of my life. I was my school’s Community Service Director, Social Work member while at Queen’s College in Melbourne and a part of the Financial Ombudsman Service Access Working Group during my time there. I would now like to use my experience to work toward improving conditions for my fellow coursework students.
The new position of Coursework Officer under the Education portfolio, will allow for a more focused and supportive approach towards advocacy.
As a part of my role, I would like to:
Postgraduate studies can get overwhelming at the best of times. I will work to promote greater support for coursework students and ensure that they know their voice will always be heard.
