Hi, I'm Isabella and I'm a Graduate 
Business Support Officer at
the City of Mitcham and I'm also the 
Branch Director for Adelaide
for young Australians and International Affairs.
When I was at Flinders I studied a combined
Bachelor of International Relations, Bachelor of Languages.
The best thing about studying 
International Relations at Flinders
is the opportunity to undertake
the Washington Internship. It is the
best thing you can do in undergraduate degree,
being able to go to Washington DC and work in Congress,
it's transformative, it's incredible,
it's everything you could ever imagine.
Yeah, the industry engagement has been phenomenal,
like, I had no idea that I would be so exposed
to the community, but I think it definitely
prepared me
so that I had the skills so that when I 
applied for the job at Mitcham,
I was what they were looking for.
So I chose to do the
combined degree, mostly because I 
wanted to learn a language
and studying a language at Flinders
was amazing, there was such incredible staff
and I was able to do a placement
through a languages degree
as well within the local Hispanic community,
I just had
such a phenomenal experience in Spanish
the Spanish professors
Yeah, I could go on for days about
how amazing they were, how supportive they were,
both in like an academic
and personal sense. If you were
ever having any
personal troubles, if you ever
felt stressed, they were so,
just eager to help you and you 
could tell that they really care
about you as a student and as a person.
So my tip for anyone studying 
International Relations at Flinders
is to take advantage of so many opportunities
that there are to study abroad or to
do external placements.
