Deakin Hallmark: Excellence in Leadership Application

I’m Jess, and I'm a final year Deakin University student studying a Bachelor of Commerce/ Bachelor of International Studies, majoring in Economics and International Relations. I have been fortunate enough to independently travel to 36 countries across the world and this has formed my passion for leadership and women's empowerment. I have a strong interest in the Indo-Pacific region and raising the number of women in leadership positions, particularly those that come from regional/rural communities. I have been involved in a variety of leadership roles and activities both inside and outside of university and these have shaped me into who I am today. I hope you enjoy reading my portfolio to learn more about my leadership journey and thank you for considering me for a Deakin Hallmark in Leadership Excellence.
