Rowena Caroline
Master of Marketing
The best highlights of my time at RMIT have been the times when I discovered myself. Until I moved here, I used to just be part of the crowd. I used to just apply myself and wonder if I would get through. But when I started doing things on my own, as an individual, I was able to build up some confidence on my own and that helped me to stand out.
