I love Perth so much! I think after graduation, I will be freelance in this industry in Australia and probably Japan, too. I can choose my work style.

I study horticulture at TAFE and there is good infrastructure here. We have a nice greenhouse and retail section. You see a lot of plants and that obviously helps because seeing a plant in real life is not the same as studying about it in a book. There's a lot of practical activities and the lecturers are very passionate as they've been in the industry for many years. This is different from the professors I had at university.

The image displays a close up of Jessica Parra, from the shoulders, up. She wears a black top. She has brown hair pulled over to the side. She looks intently into the camera. The backdrop is completely grey.

I chose TAFE for its exceptional reputation, high academic standards, and practical approach to learning. TAFE's pragmatic methodology, which emphasises hands on learning and real-world experience, greatly appealed to me.

Student Sachiho is in the middle of the picture. She smiles towards the camera. She stands in the foyer of North Metropolitan campus. There's an office behind her with clear window walls. There's tables and chairs situated in the foyer. Sachiho is wearing a grey jacket and a floral top.

TAFE course units have provided me a chance to acquire the practical skills I will need in the engineering field. The content I have been learning has been challenging, but my lecturers are all very supportive, caring, and willing to share their knowledge as much as they can.
