“I wanted to challenge myself by completing a degree in a non-native language, aiming to build new career pathways. I was looking for a master’s program that combines theory and practice in development and was drawn to ANU due to its world-class reputation. The degree I'm pursuing provides a comprehensive curriculum. It includes theoretical aspects, such as gender development, and technical skills training, including the use of participatory methods and gender analysis.”
