Chantelle
Area of Study: Bachelors of Advanced Science (Honours)
Hi, I am Chantelle! I am studying a Bachelor of Advanced Science (Hons) majoring in both biomedical science and genetics. I find learning about the human brain super fascinating and I currently work as a casual research assistant at the Queensland Brain Institute on campus. My childhood dream of becoming a mermaid never came true, so my new aspiration is to complete a PhD and pursue a career in neuroscience research. For fun I like to scroll through the Netflix menu to try and pick a new movie to watch...before completely giving up trying to choose, and instead deciding to watch Mamma Mia.
Laura
Area of Study: Masters of Environmental Management
Hello. I'm Laura, a Colombian who came to Australia to study for the Master of Environmental Management at UQ. I consider myself a social, dynamic, and energetic person who loves nature, so in my spare time, I go on hikes, camping, and anything that involves being in the bush! Also, I love to dance, especially Latin music but I am open to learning any style of dancing. I also love trying new food and, being in this multicultural country, I'll never run out of options.
