ABOUT VERONIKA

Hello Curtin homies, I'm Veronika, and I am your Vice - President Education for a second year in a row (ahhh get me out of here!!) I am studying a double degree in International Relations and Economics. I started in the Guild as the Humanities rep, and since then, I have grown a fierce passion for advocating for students at a university level, state and federal level.

It is so important that we, as students, remember and remind the university that we are the primary stakeholders in this joint - we should always be at the forefront of any decision made in this space. That is why I love the Guild, because it is an organisation run by students solely for the benefit of students.

Please feel free to email with any cohort/education issues that you have. I also chair the Guild's Representation Board, so please, if you think the Guild should take a stance on something or consider something in that space, feel free to submit something through our motions portal or reach out to me about it. Most days, you can find me on the Bentley campus getting a cheeky emotional support beverage from Concept Cafe (we love a Guild outlet).
