 Studying in the Indo-Pacific region will be highly beneficial to my career endeavours. I will be able to develop my communication skills, my professional skills and really develop long-lasting relationships. Future thinking, it provided me with opportunities to connect with professionals overseas but also professionals in Australia. Coming back to Australia with this experience will certainly distinguish me from my peers. I see the New Colombo plan scholarship impacting my career through giving me networking opportunities. Understanding their productivities and innovations to bring that knowledge back to Australia will only help me into the future.
