Trish Manilla

I have a passion for:

People and human stories, community volunteering and

career ideation and growth.

I truly believe we never stop learning and am now at a stage where I would like not to...

...just to provide a support network and advice to my mentee but to learn with them on their journey.

Edwina Memic

I have a passion for:

Social justice, diplomacy, and peace building.

​

I know what it is like to feel like the world is against you and no one believes in you, but I have proved countless people wrong.

I believe that the youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow and we should be propping each other up instead of tearing each other down. I know first-hand the benefits of an education and good support, how it can transform someone’s life and I want to help be that guiding force in someone else’s life. I bring with me a wealth of experiences, empathy and compassion.

What does success mean to me? 

Success is being fulfilled in some areas of your life and having the confidence to work towards fulfilment in those areas of your life where you are not currently fulfilled.​

I am currently working as a financial analyst/economist. This is my grad job - I finished uni in 2018, where I did a double degree in finance and economics (honours). I was heavily involved in student advocacy, clubs and societies in uni. I am helping my mentee develop the confidence to build a strong set of beliefs and the drive to pursue what is important to them in their life.
