Soumi's advice to new computer science, IT or cybersecurity students at ECU is to take advantage of the heaps of opportunities available to you.
Go to networking events and meet industry people, volunteer to help with workshops run by the School of Science, do a WIL placement or apply for an internship as part of your course.
You won't regret it.
Anyway, enough of us…meet Soumi for yourself in this short video.
