A little about this mentor:

I'm currently in my first year of medicine at WSU. I completed my bachelor of medical science degree at WSU as well. I work within the university as a social media content creator so you may have seen me on the WSU socials and I also work as a brand ambassador for the university which means representing WSU at various events. I'm the president of the Sri Lankan student union which is exciting because I get to provide our students with a space to share culture and connect with each other. I also work as the engagement officer for the International student association which allows me to share the latest news at Western with international students. I'm excited to help any and all students with their journey at Western and since I was also in your shoes once, I completely understand how nervous or anxious you may be. Excited to mentor any students who are here for a fun filled experience at Western

Further Leadership Skills: Other Engagement officer for International student association

President of the sri lankan student union

Parent or Carer: No

A little about their culture: I am born and raised in Sri Lanka and I came to Australia in 2022 for my bachelors.
