How has your experience at Murdoch helped you grow personally and professionally?

I’ve learnt a wide variety of skills at Murdoch, from my time in the screen production program to my communications degree and internship. Across both degrees, I’ve been fortunate to gain real-world experience that has since evolved into career opportunities, which I’m very excited to pursue.

Meeting a wide range of fellow students and Murdoch has also been a delight, and I’m lucky to call some of them my close friends. The plethora of experiences and insights that they have given me has broadened my horizons to this day.

What are you most passionate about in your discipline?

I’m passionate about improving communications between parties, whether it’s between an organisation and its stakeholders, or between two teammates. Much conflict arises from miscommunication, and I’d like to help prevent it where I can.

How do you hope to make an impact in your field after graduating?

How has your experience at Murdoch helped you grow personally and professionally?

My experience at Murdoch has helped me grow both personally and professionally in ways I didn’t expect. Being surrounded by professors and academics who genuinely care about their students and their disciplines showed me what it looks like to love your work and be exceptional at it. This environment taught me the value of investing in myself and seeking growth beyond just classroom walls.  It helped me understand that the people you learn from and work with matter just as much as the work you do and the content you study. All my professors have truly inspired me to commit to myself, to be more curious, more disciplined and competent so I can keep doing what I love and stay open to growth in every space I enter. 

What are you most passionate about in your discipline?

I’m most passionate about strategic communication, especially within Public Relations and corporate communications, because of the way it can genuinely shape how an organisation or entity is perceived and how it operates internally. I love being able to take information no matter how simple, sensitive or complicated and turning into communication that actually connects with people, builds trust and helps an organisation present its best self.  Whenever I see a message or a campaign, I love being able to understand the intention behind it and why it’s framed that way. Sometimes I even try to unpack and rethink how I might have shaped it differently. I think its incredibly fun and fulfilling to craft all the different narratives you possibly can and settle on the one that’s most purposeful.

How do you hope to make an impact in your field after graduating?

In a field led by women, I’m excited to contribute to the legacy women before me have built, to help shape a future where our work is recognised for its excellence and valued for its impact. I also hope to contribute to the growth of the communications field back in Bhutan and help elevate the standards, creativity and purpose of the work we do. Ultimately, as I continue to gain experience, I aim to share what I’ve learned and contribute to a more globally aware and culturally sensitive communication landscape — in Bhutan and beyond — and be recognised for producing thoughtful, meaningful work in the field wherever I can make a difference.
