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 loves swing dancing, it's her stress-buster! 💃

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. ✨
