International student story

Finding my dream career in NSW

Jennie has completed a Bachelor of Laws at the University of Technology Sydney.

About Jennie

Growing up in a small town with horses, farms and 30,000 people in Brunei, Jennie wanted to study abroad. She chose NSW for opportunities in banking, law and finance.

One of Jennie¡¯s highlights in NSW was a volunteering program to support high school students from low-income backgrounds in the community. As part of this program, Jennie taught students about the benefits of a tertiary education. Jennie was inspired by how Australian universities support students to balance their goals, priorities and responsibilities. Moving forward, Jennie wants to be a lawyer and help to diversify Australia¡¯s legal system.

Jennie¡¯s tips

¡°Get out of the city and visit NSW regions, because the natural landscape of NSW is so different to Asia. I recommend visiting Wagga Wagga and camping at the Warrumbungle National Park, because there are star gazing facilities there and you might wake up next to a kangaroo! Also, don¡¯t be shy in expressing yourself ¨C Australians are very accepting of different perspectives because it's so multicultural here.¡±
