"As part of the PACE program, I was able to get work experience at the Manly Sea Life Sanctuary which really kickstarted my career as a marine biologist. No two days were ever the same. We got to maintain the exhibits, hand-feed the animals, learn a lot about their biology, and apply my university knowledge to the workplace.”
