Hi! I'm Elaine and I study the PhB for Humanities and Social Sciences with major in Philosophy and a keen focus on bioethics. I'm originally from Shanghai but I grew up in Sydney, where I spent most of my time reading just about anything I could get my hands on and hanging out with my cat, Pumpkin. As a Peer Mentor this year, I'm excited to delve into diverse fields of research with my fellow students and help them feel more confident in expressing their ideas!
