Minerva Bailey

Kahibah, NSW

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) (Chemical)

Minerva has travelled far and wide over the past few years – embracing the opportunities presented through her Bachelor of Engineering (Chemical). In 2017, she completed her first New Colombo Plan mobility scholarship to live and study in Singapore. A second scholarship in 2018 saw her study disaster risk reduction and sustainable development goals in the Republic of South Korea. In 2019, Minerva travelled to Borneo to learn about tropical ecology and forest rehabilitation. Back home, Minerva volunteers for the Engineering faculty. Her keen interest in sustainable development led her to studying chemical engineering and she hopes to use this to forge a successful career.
