Meet our scholars

I am a young scientist passionate about using technology to drive positive change in Australia. I am pursuing a Master of Clinical Embryology, where I am acquiring the specialised skills required to work as an embryologist in human fertility clinics. I aspire to work as an embryologist, performing laboratory techniques such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) to create life and help people achieve their dream of having a child. Ultimately, my vision is to harness the latest innovations in assisted reproductive technologies to transform Australia, one family at a time. I am also passionate about science communication and increasing female engagement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). I aspire to become a leader in my field and inspire other girls and women to pursue their interests in STEM. Outside the lab, one thing that most people would be surprised to know about me is that I hold a black belt in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Earning this rank after six years of dedicated training is an achievement I will always be proud of. As a young woman, holding my black belt reflects the hard work and commitment that has helped shape my identity.
