Fleur Carpenter

Newcastle, NSW

Bachelor of Psychological Science (Honours) Enabling Pathway: Yapug

Bachelor of Psychology student Fleur hopes to bring a new perspective to the world. As an Indigenous woman, she views the earth as her home and her identity – her passion lies in preserving its sacred natural habitats for all. Fleur emphasises her admiration for the strong women in her family who have helped to shape her sense of justice and creative expression – in particular, she credits her mum’s work with Greenpeace for developing her social consciousness. Fleur was exposed to many acts of justice for the planet from a young age, including one action in which she rode the Rainbow Warrior at the Sydney Opera House to protest climate change. Fleur continues to raise awareness for global issues, including climate change. She is excited to explore opportunities and hopes for transformation through the Ma & Morley Scholarship Program.
