A little about this mentor:

I'm currently in my second year of Bachelor of Nursing, and choosing this course was a big step in my journey. What truly defined my first year, however, was moving to a brand-new country and navigating a completely different academic curriculum all on my own. I remember the steep learning curve of adjusting to new teaching styles, understanding university processes, and figuring out campus life without a guide.    This experience ignited a passion in me to help others facing similar transitions. As a mentor, I want to be the person I wish I had when I first arrived. I'm here to help students figure out everything in their first year, or whatever stage they're at, from understanding course requirements and finding resources to settling into university life in a new environment.    Beyond the academics, I'm also happy to share tips on adjusting to a new culture, finding your way around, and building a support network. My goal is to make your university experience smoother and more enjoyable, whether you're new to the country or just new to university life. I'm excited to share what I've learned and support you in making the most of your time here.
