What made you study events and what do you like about the industry? I was always interested in the events industry, just because it creates special and memorable moments in people’s lives. It is ever changing and very challenging, but that’s what I like about it. There are so many different, exciting areas in the industry. I was always interested in the events industry, just because it creates special and memorable moments in people’s lives. Tell us about your experience studying at Central. I finished High School in Germany when I was 19 and went travelling for two and a half years before I started studying the Diploma of Events last year. So I was a bit nervous to go back studying after two years travelling. But the lecturers at Central are very friendly and extremely helpful and supportive, which made it a lot easier. I really enjoy the course I am studying and would like to extend my studies and do the Advanced Diploma if I can. On the other hand, I don’t really consider myself as an International Student. I came to Australia three and half years ago, travelling with my best friend, and fell in love with the country, the people and the lifestyle and decided that I wanted to stay. I speak English 99% of the day. The only time I get to talk in German is on the phone to my family and friends, which helped me a lot though. I even think in English now. Last semester we got to organise the Central Christmas Staff Party, which was very challenging and a lot of hard work, but it was very rewarding and many lecturers and Central staff enjoyed it. What advice would you give other International Students? Don’t be afraid to ask questions if you have difficulties in understanding. Lecturers as well as class mates are really helpful and supportive. And don’t be shy to express your opinion. If you want to study Events, the best advice I can give you is to take any work experience opportunity you can get, doesn’t matter how boring or monotone it may be, it’ll pay off at the end, and be passionate about what you do. Do you have a memorable experience or a favourite place in Perth to visit? I work in a little cafe at the Swan River and it is just awesome when I get to work at 6.30 am and see a group of dolphins swimming 10m away from me. I love the beach. When I am not at the College and not at work, I love to go to the beach and just relax. There is no certain beach I go to because they are all beautiful. fusion / central international newsletter / 7
