Assistant Chief of Staff & Journalist, ABC News Melbourne
Bachelor of Media Communication
"I looked at a few universities, but Monash was one of my top preferences. I was set on being a journalist, even if I didn’t fully understand what that really entailed. Once I started, I stuck with journalism all the way through. The newsrooms, the mock‑up studios, the equipment… I don’t think people realise how well equipped and resourced Monash is until they’re actually in the degree."

Today, I credit Monash for giving him the skills, confidence, and platform to thrive in global strategic communications and make my dreams a reality."

Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Education (Honours); Juris Doctor
"My Monash Arts degree did more than prepare me for a career; it reshaped the way I read the world. It taught me to sift history for wisdom, to test ideas with rigour, and to keep empathy, ethics and open dialogue at the heart of any path ahead of me. In an age of noise and fracture, the humanities steady our true north: they remind us who we are, what we defend, and how we lead with understanding. An Arts degree does not simply make you job-ready; it makes you future-ready."
