Curtin Occupational Therapy graduates Emily Kenny and Shaylah Dinh didn’t expect to meet each other while sitting at the same cadaver table during an anatomy class. 🎓🤝 While most of the class may have felt queasy at the thought of performing dissections and autopsies on the table, this class holds many fond memories for Emily and Shaylah. In the future, Emily hopes to positively impact the world as an Occupational Therapist, while Shaylah plans to become an AUSLAN translator. Emily and Shaylah’s top three tips for keeping a friendship alive after graduating: 1. 𝙏𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙡𝙮 𝙤𝙣 - friendship after university will change, it must. Be prepared to accept that you won’t see each other as much; this expectation we discussed early on has helped us adapt to the changes. 2. 𝘽𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 – book in your hangouts in advance and decide to show up. 3. 𝘽𝙚 𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙖𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛– the transition to work life can take its toll. Check in on your friends regularly and give them space when needed. Want to connect with other like-minded graduates?

During her time at Curtin, Money School Founder Lacey Filipich never imagined she would pitch her business idea to an audience that included renowned global venture capitalist, Bill Tai. 💡🧠 While participating in Curtin Ignition, Lacey wasn’t going to let a fear of public speaking stop her from taking that next step towards reaching her business dreams. Through the program, Lacey turned this fear into a strength, delivering a stellar pitch that was crowned among Curtin Ignition’s Top 3 Pitches. “Curtin Ignition was possibly the best week I’ve spent on my business, period. “What sets Ignition apart is all the contributors and fellow Igniters cheering you on every step of the way and pulling you back from the edge when you need it. They hold nothing back and truly want to see you succeed and that’s why this program is freaking fabulous.” Have an exciting business idea?
