I am studying a Bachelor of Science. I am about one third of the way through at the moment and studying online.
I am studying a Bachelor of Science. I am about one third of the way through at the moment and studying online.
Of course! I had an aunt tell me once that time is the currency of life, and to spend it wisely. While sometimes it might feel like we are at university forever (especially in exam time), it can also feel like it goes very fast. We would love to connect with as many students as possible and work together to ensure the student experience at UNE is one that is looked back on fondly.
I remember when I was a little girl, going to visit my grandfather who was working in chemistry at UNE. He showed me his office, and then took me to the natural history museum (which looked a little different in the 90s than it does now). I think I always felt connected to UNE, and I think I was always going to eventually end up studying Science. It's great being able to see those same places now when I visit for things like intensives.
I am one of those people that loves to collect knowledge and information and explore different areas, so I know if I guess where I will end up, I will probably be wrong and end up in an entirely different area of science. At the moment I am quite interested in bioinformatics.
I honestly feel like every assignment I have submitted, every exam I've finished and every lecture I've watched have been an achievement. I have 5 kids, a few of them are on NDIS and have a bunch of different appointments I'm always busy scheduling and driving between, so studying at UNE online has been difficult to fit in at times, but lets me think about topics beyond Baby Shark, and feel like I am really achieving something.
I really enjoyed STAT100. I found it consistently interesting, and often use what I learnt in STAT100 to present my data in other units I've done since.

I love to stay busy. I volunteer running a local playgroup my kids go to for a couple of hours every week. I have recently been taking a break from Roller Derby after hurting my knee but am excited to go back when I can. I spend most Saturdays driving kids between sports, and if I ever find myself up to date on assignments, with no kid appointments or commitments, I love to pop to town and see if I can find any uranium glass in any of the op shops. My sister-in-law loves to tease me for always carrying a UV torch in my handbag.
Ask the questions you want to ask.
If you are unsure, chances are someone else is unsure too. I always start with checking forums to see if the question has been answered already.
I am really looking forward to getting to connect with more of the students studying at UNE. Feel free to reach out to me whenever.
