Hello! My name is Michel and I'm running to be the next PARSA president. I’m halfway through my PhD in Science Communication at ANU. Previously I worked as a genetic medical research assistant and science educator back in Perth, Western Australia.
I formed a ticket called Empower for the same reason I wanted to join PARSA in the first place. To create a better academic and social experience for all postgraduates at the ANU. I believe that there is a space for genuine, innovative and most of all, empowering leadership within the postgraduate community. My team and I are leading that change.
Currently, I'm the PARSA College of Science representative. My involvement within the organisation has included volunteering at O-weeks, co-director of Women's Week 2018 and co-organiser of the Sex and Consent Series. I’ve been fortunate to represent PARSA on many working groups and committees concerned with physical and mental health, respectful relationships, improving student-supervisor relationships and making our ANU campus a safe space to live, work and grow.
My promise to you as PARSA President is to put your interests at the heart of your postgraduate representative body. I will ensure that your time as a postgraduate at the ANU is academically, socially and personally fulfilling. As president, I want you to have a postgraduate experience worthy of Australia's National University.
