My name is Anisha Bhargava. I am pursuing a Master of International Management.

I live by To Kill A Mockingbird  quote, ‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it,’ because I’m convinced that the world needs more empathy for it to be a better place — and wellbeing often begins with listening to ourselves and the people around.

When not studying or tackling chores, I travel and often writing poems and short stories, and hoarding books, cute diaries and teacups.

My name is Chris. I'm studying psychology and am passionate about mental health and wellbeing.

My name is I Putu Abdi Bhuwana, people call me Putu. I am doing PhD in Education and my research topic is regarding Well-being in Education.

My name is Janani Palanikumar (Jan) and I am studying my Masters in Business Administration.

I have experienced distressing issues in the past and was not able to express my concerns to anyone. That experience was challenging and I felt isolated and stranded. One should express their concern and get the troubles out of their mind, instead of bearing all the burden by themselves.

Hence, by being a part of this amazing family, I would like to give a shoulder to those experiencing distressing events, and help them recover and tackle those odds to become a proud individual.

My name is Julio and I am currently studying a Masters in Marketing.

Hi, I’m Lavanya! I’m in my final year of a Bachelor of Information Technology, specialising in Cybersecurity.

Moving to Australia three years ago was a big transition, and it made me realise just how important mental wellbeing is when navigating life away from home. I’m passionate about creating a supportive space where students feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I’m also deeply committed to women’s empowerment, and the roles I take on reflect that. Whether it’s through advocacy, leadership, or fostering inclusivity, I strive to uplift and support women in every space I’m part of. 💙

I love to travel and explore new coffee shops —something about unique decor and architecture always brings me joy!

My name is Matilda Todoran, and I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Psychology (Advanced) (Honours)!

I’m a fantasy-loving, music-obsessed traveller with a passion for learning languages and understanding the human mind. Mental health is something I deeply care about— and I believe everyone deserves to be heard and supported.

Let’s talk mental health, books, travel, or the perfect soundtrack for getting lost in a story! 💜

My name is Melanie and I am currently studying the Bachelor of Psychological Science while majoring in Philosophy.

Hey, I’m Mia! I’m in my third year of a Bachelor of Psychology (Advanced) (Honours).  

Having moved here from Germany, I know how challenging and overwhelming it can be to adjust to a new place and how much it can help to have a welcoming and supportive community around you.

As part of the Student Wellbeing Advisory Group, I hope to spread awareness about the health and wellbeing support that the University offers, as well as create an environment where student feel included and connected.

Outside of my studies, you’ll probably find me on the volleyball court (come and join AUVC), at the beach, or lost in a book.

I can’t wait to meet all of you :)
