Yani's journey with the University of Newcastle began as the recipient of a Malaysian government scholarship and she has been inspired and challenged to reach the best of her capability and potential at the University of Newcastle. "My formative years have been shaped here. Not only academically but also as a better person ready to pay it forward to the community and the world with the values and integrity instilled by my learning here. I remember being interviewed for my place. It was daunting because a lot of senior people were there but they treated us as equals which is something I really like about Australia." Yani also says the friendliness and warmth of the local community were pivotal factors to her experience at Newcastle. "I had only just arrived and a group of us decided to explore the city. We caught the bus to find a local halal butcher, ending up at a plaza eating halal kebabs. A man approached us and asked if we were new, and welcomed us to Australia. That was the moment I felt like part of an extended family. Whoever he was, he did an excellent job."
