QATSIF congratulates the deadly Rani Carmichael (QATSIF student from Brisbane State High School) who was announced as Queensland's Highest Achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander student (2020).
Rani is currently studying a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (Honours) at the University of Queensland.
Rani said about her award, "I'm inspired by my mother for her perseverance and success in her art career, and by my Aboriginal maternal ancestors. They survived and overcame countless hardships, allowing me to access the opportunities I have today."
Last year, Rani was also awarded a Peter Doherty Science Outstanding Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Senior STEM Student award and our QATSIF Young Indigenous Leader Award.
QATSIF is extremely proud to have supported four of the past six Highest Achieving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students in Queensland.
