"I have gained new friends from around the world, valuable professional connections and incredible memories that I will cherish forever. The experience challenged me to step outside my comfort zone. I think I've come back to Australia with a newfound confidence and a different perspective on life outside of Australia. It has also enhanced my desire to work overseas after graduating."
