I’m Alarna and I am part of the Student Success Team at JCU. I have a great passion for helping students achieve success at university. I am based in Townsville on the Bebegu Yumba campus and provide support to the Bachelor of Nursing Science and Midwifery students within the Collage of Healthcare Science. Before making the move to tertiary education in 2022, I spent many years in the corporate world using my Bachelor of Business degree in Accounting and Management. After studying at JCU and working in the corporate sector, I feel I have a greater understanding of the challenges and support required to help students on their learning journey. I love meeting new faces and I am excited to support and help you engage with your studies at JCU, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
