Y20 Delegate Rachael Stock Profiled in Morning Bulletin

Rachael Stock has been profiled in the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin. In the article she discusses her excitement as the Y20 Summit approaches, she is quoted:

“This Global Voices opportunity for me means having the chance to engage with policy makers and other delegates on issues that will shape our region, nation and even the world in the coming years and decades. Once I finish my degrees I am keen to pursue professional admission through further study, and will look to use the opportunity to build a professional network across a broad range of areas.”
