Meet the Team
Julie
Julie arrived in Australia (from France) in 2010 at the age of 20. After travelling around the country on her Working Holiday visa, she wanted to continue her studies in an English-speaking country to open her professional horizons. After investigating the high quality education offered in Australia, she decided to study here on a student visa. At that time there was not much information available to help her. It was then that the idea of opening her own agency came up. After a few years working in the education sector as a marketing manager for different schools, she opened Study Destination with the aim of helping French backpackers to stay and study in Australia. After 6 years the agency has grown to other nationalities and we are now helping more than 500 students per year to study and live in Australia.
