Hi I’m Belle! I’m a Bondy studying a Bachelor of Communication, majoring in journalism and public relations – and LOVING it.

I grew up on over 300 acres in the beautiful Gold Coast hinterland, riding motorbikes, building billy carts and making friends with wildlife with my three brothers. I'm a lover of live music, sports, the outdoors, animals, reading, Spain, awkward moments and a little danger!

Before I started my Bond journey, I wasn't sure if university was for me after a few long years of hard life lessons and one and a half semesters at another university - which didn't go as well as I'd imagined. Deciding to apply to Bond was a huge turning point and now I can't imagine not having taken this path. I am so thankful to have made the wonderful, like-minded, lifelong friends I have, my incredible and funny lecturers and all I've learned about both my dream career and myself. Achieving my dreams no longer seems too far fetched - I finally believe I'm getting somewhere and the support, skills and confidence I've gained at Bond has been invaluable.

I'd love to be a media manager for one of my favourite sport teams since I've always had a strong interest in the media industry and a love for sports. In my opinion, the sport industry is unlike any other field in what it can do for other people. So many diverse people are brought together through sports to feel a sense of belonging, pride and mateship whether that be through cheering on their favourite/home teams and players, or at a grassroots level. But one of my favourite aspects is the deserving attention brought to public/community causes by different sport clubs and players.

One of my favourite quotes of all time is: “Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it - the time will pass anyway."

In other words, always persist and persevere! Nowadays, there is no-one who believes in the power of the mind more than I do (I am definitely one of those annoying eternal optimists - not even ashamed to admit it).
