“I fell in love with the beauty and the lifestyle of Australia when spending two years here on a working holiday visa. Having completed a bachelor degree in acting in the UK prior to my travels, I always knew that I had the option to complete higher study in Australia, but was nervous about the application process. I spent some time back in the UK working as a teaching assistant and considering my future options, which is where I found a love for education and knew for certain that I wanted to become a teacher.

“My decision to study in Australia was fuelled by the dream of becoming a teacher and the idea of being able to study in my favourite place on Earth! A friend recommended Study Options to me, and I’m so thankful that she did! Stefan, Carla and the team supported me though the entire application process; their knowledge of the process and guidance throughout was truly fantastic.

“I chose to study on the Sunshine Coast because of its beauty and active lifestyle; and it has not disappointed. I have been studying at the University of the Sunshine Coast now since February and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. I count myself lucky every day to be studying in such a warm environment; the lecturers are so relaxed, approachable and friendly. And one of the best things about USC it is spotting kangaroos on campus daily!”
