UniMentors are current students who offer a friendly face while providing ongoing support to new students, helping to make the transition to university easier.
If you have any questions about the UniMentor program, please contact unisamentors@unisa.edu.au.
I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Honours).
I have a diverse range of hobbies that keep me creatively and actively engaged. I love capturing moments through photography; cooking and baking are my passions, and I love escaping into nature. Additionally, I have a knack for doing my own nails, often trying out intricate designs that reflect my artistic side. 💅
I enjoy being a UniMentor as it is incredibly rewarding. I get to support and guide my peers, fostering a sense of community and mutual growth.

Samantha is studying an International Master of Business Administration (Advertising and Brand Management). 📚
Samantha loves swing dancing, it's her stress-buster! 💃
The best part about being a UniMentor for Samantha is meeting peers from different parts of the world at university events and finding similarities despite cultural differences. 🌎
Sasha is studying a Bachelor of Laboratory Medicine (Honours), chosen due to an obsession with Sherlock Holmes! 🧫🔍 Sasha finds it fascinating how the author would analyse and come up with laboratory procedures that weren't invented during that time to solve a case. 🔬
One of Sasha’s hobbies is crocheting organs, “because I can't collect/store the real ones.” 😅
Sasha loves being a UniMentor because “I am able to challenge myself and develop my skills even further while also meeting new people from whom I can learn and discover new knowledge”. Being a UniMentor is a great way to meet new people, and connect with others in your degree, regardless of year level. ✨
Smit is studying a Master of Information Technology (Enterprise Management). 📚
Smit loves cycling and tried shipping his bicycle from his home country to Adelaide so that he can explore different places by riding. 🚴
Smit likes the UniMentor program a lot because it has allowed him to engage with a lot of students. Smit prefers working on helping students and creating a great environment for them at UniSA. Through this program, Smit got to do what he was inclined to do and is looking forward to continuing to help students. 🙌
