Hi, I'm Yee Lam, your international student rep candidate for 2026! I am a 3rd year international physiotherapy student from Hong Kong!
I enjoy involving myself in the Curtin community, including my work as Vice President of Curtin Musician and being involved in Curtin Singers. I have been physiotherapy year rep and international rep for the School of Allied Health which I look back on with great pride.
In addition to these community roles, I am also an international student.
After a long day of class, I go to my casual job that pays me less than minimum wage. Its not right, but I say nothing to my boss because it's hard to find a job as an international students. I take 2 buses and a train back to Unilodge, because Curtinlink doesn't run this late. I try to avoid the attention of the man cussing out the bus driver. When I arrive home, I take my laundry out from the $5 per load dryer. My jeans are still damp.
Every single university student has the right to feel safe, to affordable personal hygiene, to not be exploited by workplaces. I aim to increase career support for international students, to extend and refine Curtinlink, to lower the cost of on-campus living (for example, reducing laundry fees from $5 to $3) and to increase accessibility for counseling services. If elected, I will fight for the changes that we can see everyday!
