Jasmine Sibree
Sustainability & Climate Change Consultant, Deloitte
University of Melbourne Alumni, Bachelor of Arts (2022-2024)
Jasmine is a Climate Change & Sustainability Consultant at Deloitte, with a passion for global issues shaped by her background in geography and upbringing in Australia and Thailand. Prior to this role, Jasmine worked for the Bureau of Meteorology as a government relations officer and at WWF in Thailand. She recently completed a fellowship with Global Voices, where she wrote a policy paper on food insecurity in Victoria and attended the UN FAO World Food Forum in Rome.
Choosing their final Challenge: Students in Action
Whether they're filming the next Melbourne Peer Mentor Program training video, lending a hand at student-facing events, or presenting to a Community of Practice of staff and peers, each final activity is a chance to put growth into practice!
This is where the Melbourne Plus journey comes full circle. Students choose a challenge that matters to them, apply the skills they've built along the way, and show, in real time, how far they've come. Both professionally, personally, and as part of the Melbourne community.
"Melbourne Plus gave opportunities to build rapport with other students I otherwise may not have met, developing that sense of chemistry reinforces the social aspect of uni and makes coming on campus more pleasant. Melbourne Plus activities encourage me to try new things, learn new skills and feel comfortable doing so in a safe environment."
Eddy Gao, Melbourne Plus Award recipient
