Hillana Seeley

Linley Point, NSW

Bachelor of Medical Science / Doctor of Medicine

A childhood trip to Burma with her grandfather ignited Hillana’s passion for service. She remembers visiting schools and orphanages, making friends with the children she met. But even as a child herself, she felt compelled to do more to help. With both of her parents working as doctors, Hillana had many opportunities to learn the value of service to others. A mission trip to Kenya with her mother cemented her decision to pursue Medicine as a career. Since then, Hillana has found many ways to give back around Sydney. Playing games with Indigenous children as part community programs for Life for Koori Kids; helping out with Side Street Medics, a volunteer medical service for people experiencing homelessness; and as a tutor and role model with Ethical Education. She is looking forward to learning and growing alongside all the Ma & Morley Scholars.
