Resident Profile - Carina

Carina has been an international resident at the College since 2020 and is in her third year of a Marine Science and Zoology undergraduate degree at The University of Western Australia. Last year, Carina was a College RA and this year, she is one of our Co-Presidents. 

Her favourite place to study and have a coffee is Boubar on Hampden Road because "they have the best Chai Lattes and the nicest baristas," she said. Daisies Cottesloe and North Street Store are Carina's other favourite places to catch up with friends because they are close to the beach. 

Carina's favourite memory at St Cat's is when her Wing took a trip down south to Augusta. "We had a social media detox, painted, played games, went to the beach and learnt aerial silk acrobatics," she said.

She applied to become Co-President because she has felt welcomed, loved and supported by the St Cat's community.

"Living away from home has been challenging for me; however, I couldn't have asked for a better home away from home."

Carina's advice to incoming freshers is "to participate in as many opportunities as possible; the people you meet here will be your friends for life!"
