 So yeah, I've always had a passion with the water. I've always lived on the coast. I loved scuba diving for the first time. It was amazing, very surreal. It's just the colors and all the creatures, the corals, everything's amazing under there. So yeah, high school, I didn't go very well. I've gone into the workforce in an apprenticeship as a mechanic. In about halfway through that, I ended up going up to the Great Barrier Reef and doing scuba diving and from there, I kind of got a passion or reunited a passion for the marine environment and I was kind of at the point where I was like, I might test this out. I'm young enough still to test it as a career pathway. So I enrolled myself into uni and now I'm a part of the New Condo Plane Scholarship. So I'm currently studying a Bachelor of Marine Science and Management at Southern Cross University. This here is one of the campuses that costs half of the Marine Science Centre and it's where, part of my degree, I get to do my last year here and we're focusing a lot more on your practical skills, a lot of the marine environment. So I chose to study in the Pacific for the New Colombo Plane Scholarship because I have Vanuatu Heritage, part of the islands out there. So it was really important to try and get that cultural experience for me, for my personal development, but also to learn a bit more about coals. So first arriving in Fiji was a bit of a cultural shock. I expected to be a lot more laid back, but because I arrived in Suva, the capital of Fiji, everything was hectic there. There was lots of buses and taxis, people peeping their horns at each other. Getting used to that was a bit of a big step. So both Fijians, they're very welcoming and I invite you to play sport with them. I'll invite you back to their villages to have dinner with their family. They're very, I like getting people involved, making it sort of a family environment. So that was quite interesting and exciting. So I chose the University of South Pacific to try and get a bit more out of my comfort zone. But the most valuable thing is learning about it from a different perspective. You're not going to get that from just staying at one university in one country. So a lot of my career goals are aiming at doing research. So doing my PhD and trying to do a lot of coral research and hopefully make a mark on what's happening with corals. So I'll be interning with Reef Explorer on the Coal Coast of Fiji. So part of that will be doing research as part of uni as well. So I'll be researching possibly the larval stages of coral and the spawning. And I'll also be looking at impacts of coral restoration on fish communities. Yeah, I'm very excited about the research. Like I've always wanted to do research. I never thought I was smart enough to do research, but here I am now. I'm about to do it. Scholarship just keeps opening doors that you don't even know is there really. I applied to getting the scholarship. I was currently only one real pathway for me. Right now I've got the scholarship. There's just been a lot more doors open, especially internationally. So yeah, I want to use my success as a new one-boat plan scholar and as a researcher to help motivate young Indigenous kids to follow their passions. Even though they don't think they're smart enough or got grades. If they push themselves, there's always other doorways they can access. Hopefully strive to achieve themselves.
