About Me

Hi! My name is Nirin, and I’m a second-year Master of Applied Linguistics student. Although I was born and raised in Brisbane, I have a multicultural background and can speak five languages: English, Korean, Lao, Mandarin Chinese, and Thai.

During my six years at UQ, I have participated in numerous volunteering events and engaged with various students from diverse backgrounds. These experiences have motivated me to better understand the concerns and needs of diverse students and encouraged me to improve their student experience and the current support systems at UQ. I am passionate about creating a sense of belonging for all students and ensuring they feel supported throughout their academic journey.

In addition to being a UQ Wellbeing Student Representative, I am a Casual Research Assistant for the School of Languages and Cultures and the Marketing Director for the UQ Thai Students Association (UQTSA). Please feel free to say hi if you see me around campus!
