I was browsing around different aquaculture areas and looking at how universities present their research. I looked at JCU, especially in Townsville and I was really impressed by the way JCU represents itself in the global market.

Another thing that attracted me to JCU was the location. Coming from Jakarta, Indonesia, I was searching for more of a smaller city. I prefer less crowded areas and Townsville seemed like it had the comfort of the in-between zone of a big city and a small town.

A highlight of my study experience was meeting and working with students and academics from all over the world, and with experts in wild animal medicine and conservation.
