Inspirational
I got to a point where I wanted to extend my industry knowledge when I serendipitously met Associate Professor Polly Burey from the University. She was inspirational and showed me there was still so much left to learn within the industry. With her encouragement and the support of the University, I was able to enter the Bachelor of Science.
