Congratulations to the 2022 NCWWA STEM Bursary recipient, Abigail Elezovich.

  

Abigail Elezovich is the NCWWA STEM Bursary Recipient. Abigail is studying a Bachelor of Science

in Molecular, Medical and Forensic Science majoring in both Forensic Biology and Psychological

studies at Murdoch University. Abigail is in her second year in 2022.


As Abigail stated in her application for the NCWWA STEM Bursary

“Generally speaking most, if not all scientific fields are male dominated careers. This maybe due to women having fear of not belonging or lower aspirations from constant reminders of men being the ones to be scientists. In this generation it is extremely inspiring to see a rise of women being interested in scientific careers as I truly believe we can bring a new perspective and new original ideas to the table.”


Abigail is a former Year 12 Student Captain at her school and achieved the Baden Powell Award in

Girl Guides for the challenge of further developing refined leadership skills and outdoor skills as

well as dedicated community service and personal growth.



Congratulations Abigail!
