Daisy Twayana from Nepal: 2023 International Student of the Year Award recipient
I graduated with a Master of Social Work from Charles Darwin University in November 2023.
After being recognised as winner of 2023 International Student of the Year award, it boosted my confidence to achieve my personal and professional goals and motivated me to become a critical social worker, to support vulnerable people who are seeking to improve their life.
It also inspired me to continue to give back to the community, focus more on volunteering work. Winning the International Student of the Year Award has encouraged me step into different challenges and believe in my leadership skills, strength and potential in my field, encouraging me to gain a strong sense of self-identity.
I would encourage students to apply for this award as it helps to acknowledge your inner strength, skills and capabilities, that we may not believe we have.
Nominations close on 25 September 2024, with the awards ceremony being held on 14 November 2024. For more information on the awards, along with nomination forms, see here.
The Koala congratulates Study NT on the initiative and encourages students in the NT to apply; good luck!
