"The GEA program wasn't just a stepping stone; it was the open door that led me to the Honours Bachelor of Data Science and Analytics program. I saw it as a platform to bridge the gap between my experiences and my desired future in this new land. The cooperative and resourceful people in the GEA program connected dots for me that I didn't even know existed. They played a pivotal role in shaping my pathway, ensuring I never felt like an outsider."
