Meet the NIKERI Student Services Team

NATASHA

My name is Natasha Rossington and I’m a Kamilaroi Kooma woman from Gunggari/Bidjara country in Southwest Queensland, for the past 10 years I have lived on Wadawurrung country, where I work as the Team Leader of Student Experience at the NIKERI Institute.  I am a past graduate of the NIKERI Institute, and I was first introduced to the Institute by my mum and my aunties.  My experience as a student is why I enjoy working at the NIKERI Institute and why I am passionate about supporting mob in tertiary education.  The NIKERI Institute always makes me feel connected to Community and Culture.
