LauraAbout Me

Hi everyone! I'm Laura. I'm in my second year of the Master of Environmental Management here at UQ. I'm from Colombia and came here to explore a new culture, a new life. A bit about me is that ever since I arrived to Australia, I've discovered a passion for putting myself out to service of people and the environment. I’ve discovered how impactful a smile and a greeting can be, and how interacting with others and making connections can help in their well-being. That’s why I started to volunteer in different activities at UQ where I can help new students to better navigate their lives in this university by giving them advice based on my experience. Starting a new life in a different country or even starting a new experience in a university can be quite challenging, but also one of the most amazing adventures in life, if we look after ourselves and our mental and physical health.
