Meet Rehana

One of my most useful experiences at UOW was an internship with Novotel. It gave me hands-on experience and really valuable insight. Today I’m a HR Business Partner with Macquarie Group. The most rewarding part of my job is the freedom to constantly challenge the status quo, and the feeling that I’m positively contributing to something meaningful.
