How will I contribute to improving Indigenous health as a qualified medical practitioner or health worker?
Growing up in Roxby Downs showed me how small communities need health care. It was my aspiration that lead me to leave my community and move to boarding school for a better education. My aspiration for after university is to become a rural doctor and work in the remote communities around Australia.
I also, however, want to be a role model for other young Aboriginal students. I want to show them that they can be whatever they want even a doctor.
