                                 Business and law student. Torres Strait Islander and human rights advocate.
                                 Growing up in North Queensland, Kat didn’t really know what she wanted to do with her life—but she knew it
                                 would involve empowering her people. She chose a double degree at QUT and her decision has paid off, with two
                                 international experiences including the UN Peace Summit in Bangkok and a paid legal internship that’s given her
                                 four years of experience in a law firm. She’s now closing in on her ambition to become a human rights lawyer.
