ABOUT BEN

Hey, I'm Ben and I am privileged to be your 2025 Vice-President Education. I'm currently enrolled as a Business Admin student and this is my second year being a Guild Representative as last year I was the Deputy Chair for Guild Council.

I’m so excited to tackle this role as I’ve always been passionate about advocating for students and improving our university experience. I’m focused on ensuring that every student’s voice is heard and that our education reflects our needs and aspirations. I’m committed to pushing for better feedback on assessments, modernising curriculums to keep them relevant, and holding Curtin accountable for promises.
