Kezhan came to Melbourne to study a Master in Management (Accounting) at the University of Melbourne. With a background in media and communication, Kezhan wanted to expand her practical skills and management theory in English. Through local work experience and being actively engaged with the Graduate Student Association’s Council (GSA), Kezhan was able to further develop her English language skills in a variety of environments. She is committed to creating spaces, especially for female students, who come to study in Melbourne without family support networks and who may struggle with adjusting.

Kezhan talked about her student life with SBS Mandarin Producer Alan Qu.
