My internship was a very helpful part of my experience at JCU Brisbane that has assisted me in obtaining much knowledge about the Australian job market as well as securing a professional work experience opportunity in my field of study.

“When I decided to advance

my career, I approached a few

universities in Brisbane. James Cook

which treated me on a personal level.

It was a satisfying journey thereafter,
