Curtin University graduate and Founder & Owner of The Real Healthy HQ CaAtherine Meredith is passionate about supporting the next generation of Curtin business leaders. 🚀🧠
On a mission to give back to the Curtin community and help shape the next generation of industry professionals, CaAtherine decided to get involved in Curtin Faculty of Business and Law‘s Internship program.
Through the 12-week program, CaAtherine was able to impart her wealth of marketing and business knowledge to Curtin Marketing student Kyra Otega as part of the program.
Having just completed the program, CaAtherine and Kyra share their experiences.

As a proud Curtin Alumni, being a mentor allows me to share my experiences, insights, and knowledge with the next generation of business leaders, and I am excited to support and guide them on their journey!

Working with CaAtherine and the Real Healthy HQ has taught me a lot about the practical side of marketing and balancing the many different roles and responsibilities. Learning these lessons has built my confidence greatly, before beginning my internship it was hard to see myself as a professional Marketer rather than a Marketing student.

As alumni, we can make a significant impact by developing communication and people skills that benefit both the mentor and mentee. I encourage fellow alumni to get involved, as their contribution as a mentor could be exactly what a mentee needs to elevate their abilities and become work-ready. Your guidance and experience can make a lasting difference in their journey.
