I am Sofia Savicheva, a third-year student of Communications and Media Production programme at Griffth College. I have been an active participant in the social and academic lives of my institution since the very start of my first academic year here. Being a volunteer and student ambassador who spent more than 50 hours of voluntarily working, my path started dynamically and, hopefully, I could contribute to development and an increase in student engagement.

My professional and academic developments found continuation in being the main editor of the award-winning magazine and, gladly, bringing an award to my faculty with the team, and being the captain of the girls' volleyball team.
