Hi! I'll help you adjust and ease into life whilst you're in Australia – both culturally and academically – making your experience abroad a GREAT one.

I know the feeling – the excitement just from the thought of moving to the other side of the globe. I left Australia to live and work in the U.S for a whole summer, before camping across many States from East to West, taking in as much of the varying cultures as possible; I found I learned a lot from the experience. This adventure gave me the curiosity and courage to move to the UK, where I lived for 2 years working in London, which allowed me to sightsee and travel, exploring much of Europe and the U.K. I have taken many opportunities to also travel throughout Australia, and I would be delighted to share my experiences with you. Traveling, and of course experiencing new cultures, is a strong passion of mine. I will definitely encourage you to get out there and make the most of it.

I live on the coast and love the outdoors, especially going to the beach in my spare time. On campus you will most likely spot me in a dance or group fitness class with my "Mac" mates at the Macquarie University gym.

I'm looking forward to meeting you down under!

 

AIFS Campus Staff with First Aid Training

Because health and safety are top priorities at AIFS, at least one member of the staff at this campus has taken a first aid course in order to be available to help any student until a doctor or nurse can provide help. This is just one of many services that we provide to our students.
