It was great to see the other IPU Alumni Association members face to face. I was so grateful to hear everyone’s opinions about IPU. We’re still a new university but that’s why we can be original and our do things our way.

While I am still thinking about how I can further support the current students and alumni, I will do my best as I have a lot of appreciation and gratitude to IPU. I had an awesome campus life and also made amazing lifelong friends. In my last year of University, I went to IPU NZ to study English. There, I met the most amazing man in the world, who is now my husband. We have a son and a daughter together named Luka and Ellie. I now have a lovely family here in NZ because of IPU.
I believe everyone has their own talents and good points. I used to have low confidence, but I learnt to appreciate those good points about myself with the help of others. I want to support and push others to find their talents and dreams too. I know you can do it, because you are all amazing!
