As a newcomer in Australia, I experienced the warmth of friendship, good advice, and memorable events, courtesy of the PGSOC community. It is now an honour to have been elected by my fellow graduate students to serve as the President of the Materials Postgraduate Society (PGSOC), following my previous role as Grievance Officer. Thanks to the wonderful team, we received no grievances - only love and encouragement. Together, we embraced opportunities to network, engage, bond, and celebrate cultural events. Building on the achievements of the past team, I am excited to lead a new, energetic team dedicated to fostering an innovative, inclusive, and engaging environment that promotes creativity, collaboration, and diversity. On behalf of the team, I can say that this year, we'll be celebrating more diverse cultural events, host academic and outdoor events, and sprinkle in a little fun to give everyone a much-needed escape from research!"

As I continue in my second term as Vice President of PGSOC, I embrace the opportunity to support and enhance the leadership of both the current and former presidents.

My commitment to teamwork and innovation has been key to creating meaningful experiences for our members. This year, I’m dedicated to further strengthening our impact and leaving a lasting legacy within our university community.

In my leadership role at PGSOC, I aim to cultivate an inclusive community, driven by a strong belief in the society's impactful mission and its potential for positive transformations. Beyond this role, I find joy in art, hiking, and quality time with friends. Serving as the Vice President at PGSOC, a dynamic university club dedicated to community leisure and knowledge, is my way of fulfilling social responsibility. This significant side activity, alongside my PhD, contributes to the improvement of my personality. I aspire that my collaboration with peers in PGSOC offers a unique and enriching experience for everyone involved.
