🎓 Meet this week’s #ScholarSaturday, #ElevateSTEM Undergraduate Scholar Tabatha Bott, currently studying a dual degree in Engineering (Honours) and Science at The University of Queensland. Through Elevate, Tabatha has gained more than financial support. She’s built the confidence, skills and networks to make the most of every opportunity across her studies and beyond. “Being an Elevate scholar has given me a head-start… allowing me to focus on my studies, while also benefiting from ATSE’s professional development opportunities and strong network support that continue to help me grow.” This semester, Tabatha stepped outside her comfort zone and into leadership, taking on the role of Volunteer Events Coordinator with UQ GEMS - Geography and Environmental Management Society. From organising a Clean Up Australia Day event to planning sustainability-focused initiatives, she’s already making a meaningful impact. She’s also gaining hands-on industry experience as an Environmental Engineering consultant with Alluvium Consulting Ltd, supporting coastal and environmental projects alongside experienced engineers and scientists. 👏 Tabatha’s journey is a great example of how Elevate empowers scholars to grow as leaders, build real-world skills and drive positive change. 🔗 Learn more about Elevate: Boosting diversity in STEM: https://lnkd.in/gRKmPUxX
