Meet Namishka, a dedicated Honours Student of Earth and Planetary Sciences with a goal to join a Mars Mission! 🔭✨
Unlike many who dream of the stars from childhood, Namishka’s fascination with space began later in life. While earning her bachelor’s degree in Geology in India, she stumbled upon a live YouTube video of an astronaut spacewalking and looking back at Earth, immediately Namishka fell in love. After completing her Bachelor’s she decided to take a gap year, where she channelled her time and energy into organising a space outreach camp inspired by astrophyiscist @astrokirsten. She initially conducted the camp virtually with five local students, designing a fun and engaging syllabus. The following year, she expanded the camp to an in-person format at her school, reaching 100+ students with creative activities. Her innovative approach earned her an invitation to share her experiences at a webinar in Indonesia.
After her well-spent gap year, Namishka’s next step felt clear, and she decided to pursue a Master’s degree in Planetary Sciences. While exploring global options, she discovered significant advancements in Australia. She reached out to professionals on LinkedIn who had careers she aspired to, and one of them, now a professor at Curtin, explained the impressive work being done there. Thrilled with her choice, Namishka now has that professor as her co-supervisor. 📚

Meet Ortinel, a proactive and multitalented Master of Occupational Therapy student ✨
With a unique blend of academic dedication, wellbeing, and artistic flair, Ortinel today navigates his postgraduate studies with intentional healthy hobbies. Ortinel’s journey to get to healthy hobbies started during his high school years where he was a competitive sprinter. As a natural overachiever and go getter, he excelled in athletics and maintained a strict routine to stay at the top of his game. During this time, Ortinel was heavily focused on physical health and felt that becoming a physiotherapist one day aligned with his interests and future goals. However, he decided to study an undergraduate degree in exercise science to keep his options open.
Throughout his studies, Ortinel realised that physical health was just one aspect of overall wellbeing. His university experience forced him to delve into the importance of mental health, which he found to be crucial in becoming the best version of oneself. Balancing university and life were challenging at first, but over time, Ortinel implemented boundaries that transformed his perspective on both. He found serious value in staying open with his tutors and lecturers, who supported him when he needed it, and began to establish routines that include time for personal interests and self-care. Ortinel’s practice of taking a day of rest each week became vital for his mental well-being, helping him recharge and stay focused. 🍃
