What happens when passion meets the right timing? 🌟⏰📖
@samantha_donaldson_’s unconventional path to success shows how you can rewrite your own story.
At 17 and straight out of high school, she completed a certificate in communications but chose not to continue with a bachelor degree. Rather than committing herself to study, she stepped away to gain life experience. Years later, in her late 20s, Samantha returned to university ready to dedicate herself to her studies.
Balancing her studies with a job and a toddler at home, Samantha’s study routine often unfolded during unconventional hours, such as late at night or early in the morning, but her final year proved particularly rewarding marked by a host of exciting experiences.
During her studies, Samantha interned with @rwaaus, wrote pieces for the organisation’s Heart’s Talk publication, and held the position of editorial director at @elephantpage_ , a student-run publishing house, which were all stand out achievements.
Although busy, getting to immerse herself in all things editing and publishing was such a rewarding experience. She insists that when you put yourself out there, you can create opportunities for yourself.
For fellow students, her advice is simple: Trust your own path and keep moving forward. Everyone’s journey is different, and it’s okay to go at your own pace.

Ever thought a camp job could spark a whole new career? 🌟🏕️
That’s exactly what happened to minerals exploration geoscience student Yeeda. After graduating in Environmental Science nearly a decade ago, Yeeda didn’t imagine geology in her future. But in 2021, whilst in the role of camp cook for an exploration company, her fascination with rocks and minerals was ignited.
She loved talking to the geologists about chemistry and rocks. “It made me realise I could turn my science background into something new,” she says.
While starting Curtin’s Graduate Certificate in Minerals Exploration Geoscience online gave her flexibility, a visit to Curtin Kalgoorlie’s O-Week changed everything.
“It’s such a safe and supportive environment,” Yeeda shares. “You’re constantly in the loop with events and networking opportunities.”
Inspired by the supportive WASM community, Yeeda made the leap to move, where she quickly found her place among like-minded peers and industry connections.
Now on the path to becoming a geologist, Yeeda credits Curtin and WASM for opening doors she never thought possible. “It’s been such an incredible journey,” she reflects.

Have you ever wondered how a study abroad experience can impact your study? 🌎
Meet Lawrence, a Bachelor of Creative Arts student specialising in film.
Lawrence is deeply passionate about storytelling and the power of film to connect with audiences. His university journey has been focused on finding his creative voice, learning to use narrative to explore different perspectives, and developing his unique style.
As a filmmaker, Lawrence’s travel experiences have been crucial to his development.
“Traveling has opened my eyes to different perspectives and how diverse stories can be. It’s not just about telling a good story; it’s about finding the universal elements that resonate with people worldwide.”
These experiences have helped him understand how to craft stories that are not only entertaining but also thought-provoking. For Lawrence, storytelling is about more than just visuals, it’s about sharing experiences that lead to reflection and personal growth.
As he continues his studies, Lawrence is eager to explore the intersection of film and social issues, using his work to address important topics, promote understanding and inspire change.
“Storytelling can be a powerful tool for change,” he says. “I want to use my voice to tell stories that matter.”
