At RMIT, the goal is to ensure every student graduates as a well-rounded, future-ready professional by building mastery across six core graduate capability areas. These capabilities are not just academic checkboxes — they represent essential attributes and skills expected of graduates navigating complex, tech-driven, and global work environments.
Ethical Global Citizens 🌏
1D. Global Perspectives
My CBDC research compared global examples like the digital yuan, eNaira, and A$DC, with a focus on equity and accessibility. In Smart Contracts, I explored ethical issues around digital identity and surveillance.
1F. Sustainability Development Goals
I regularly incorporated the UN’s SDGs into my work. Examining blockchain’s societal impact in The Blockchain Economy and analysing CSL’s economic role in Accounting in Organisation and Society.
Connected 📡
2D. Meaningful Connections
At RMIT, I’ve built strong friendships across disciplines. In subjects like The Blockchain Economy and Critical Accounting Perspectives, where we pushed each other to grow both academically and personally.
2E. Collaborate
Group work has been constant, teaching me how to navigate different cultures, ideas, and working styles. I’ve learned to communicate clearly, manage conflict, and bring teams together.
2F. Multidisciplinary & Cross-functional Teamwork
Starting in the Associate Degree and progressing into Accounting and Blockchain, I’ve worked with students across finance, marketing, design, and UX. WIL especially showed me the value of diverse skillsets and how to align my strengths with others’.
Adaptive 🔁
3C. Grow Professionally
My double degree has helped me find where I add the most value, at the intersection of regulation and innovation. I’ve shaped my path around that, leaning into my strengths, staying curious, and stepping beyond my comfort zone.
3D. Self-awareness
This journey map reflects how far I’ve come in understanding myself. Stepping back to reflect on my values and skills has shown me that I thrive in future-focused, meaningful work that connects people and technology.
Digitally Adept 💻
4B. Emerging Technologies
I’ve always been drawn to what’s next, whether exploring blockchain through smart contracts and DeFi, or analysing AI’s role in finance and compliance. My studies have encouraged me to think ahead, from assessing CBDCs to testing how AI can streamline accounting. I love applying emerging tech in real-world ways.
4D. Human Skills
Even as I lean into tech, I prioritise human connection. I focus on clear communication and empathy—whether breaking down blockchain concepts for non-technical audiences or navigating group work. I aim to pair digital fluency with emotional intelligence.
Expert 🎓
5A. Disciplinary
My studies have built a solid foundation in accounting and blockchain, which I’ve applied directly at MGIDC. There, I’ve grown as both an accounting professional and advisor in tax, crypto, and structuring. The coursework gave me technical depth, while my blockchain major gave me the confidence to support clients in fast-moving digital spaces.
5C. Expertise in Real-life Contexts
From WIL to case studies, my degree has pushed me to apply theory to practice. Whether analysing Woolworths or developing blockchain strategies, I’ve learned to turn academic frameworks into real-world solutions for complex business challenges.
Critically Engaged 🧠
6B. Engage Critically
In Critical Accounting Perspectives, I learned to question the assumptions behind financial reporting, not just the numbers. One assignment unpacked how report design like how sentence length can influence investor perception. It showed me how strategic language builds trust in corporate reporting.
6D. Undertake Research
Nearly every RMIT assignment has involved independent research, but what’s shaped me most has been diving into complex legislation like tax law, the Corporations Act, and international standards. These experiences have sharpened my ability to apply technical frameworks in both academic and real-world settings.
