Meet Alex

Hello, hello! My name’s Alejandra (but you can call me Ale), I am 19 and I have two last names: González and Saavedra. I moved with my family from México in 2022 because of my father’s job, with dreams of becoming an independent animator or storyboard artist. While I live in Melbourne, I want to try lots of new things and learn the fundamentals that will let me jump onto the animation stage after graduating from a bachelor in design for multimedia. When I am not working on school assignments, I’m a queer digital artist who draws an unhealthy amount of Sonic the Hedgehog fanart for online kudos. I can speak Spanish, English, and French fluently, as well as a bit of Japanese, so do not hesitate to speak to me in whichever language makes you most comfortable.

Meet Eddie

Hello there! I'm Eddie, and I'm excited to dive into the world of health science, specifically chiropractic, in the near future. I'm quite a language enthusiast, being fluent in three languages: Chinese, English, and Spanish. If you're curious about the unique blend of Chinese accents in Spanish, feel free to strike up a conversation with me. I have a genuine passion for connecting with new individuals and unraveling their stories; there's something truly magical about the tales people carry with them. While I might lean towards being more of an indoors person, don't be surprised to find me embracing the great outdoors through activities like snowboarding, hiking, and even scuba diving. I'm an open book, so feel free to ask me anything you're curious about. Let's forge a friendship and share our experiences!

Your Ambassadorship will last for one semester. This may be February - June or July - December. If you want to continue for more than one semester you’re most welcome to apply again.

If you are now at RMIT University you are welcome to apply. Having alumni on our team of Ambassadors is a great addition to the program.

We generally recruit around 6-10 Ambassadors each semester.

Ambassadors help plan, organise and delivery activities and events for all students at RMIT Training. For example, you might help us plan a calendar of activities for a month, cook sausages on a BBQ, or help plan a student party.

They also help bridge the gap between the Student Experience team and the greater student body by promoting activities to students. This might be on social media or through informal chats in class.

You will learn new skills, for example, video editing, make new friends (Ambassadors often find their besties in the program), become more confident and a better leader, get the feel-good vibes that come with volunteering, and above all, you’ll have fun! You’ll also get free or discounted entry to activities and some free merch!
