Alicia Brown
Youth justice advocate. Course switcher. Following her passion.After studying at QUT for six months, Alicia Brown realised that her course wasn't the right fit.
She sought advice from staff in the Oodgeroo Unit and a QUT career educator, and discovered her passion for helping Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander youth involved in the criminal justice system.
Since switching to a human services and justice double degree, Alicia hasn't looked back. She loves her course and the broad perspective it brings to her future career.
