Hey y'all! My name is Paula Randler and I'm a senior at the University of South Carolina (you know, the first USC). I am a geology major and environmental studies minor in the Honors College.

Coming to Australia has been a dream of mine since I learned about the unique biodiversity of the continent. Now this oyster holds more pearls for me as I am interested in environmental attitudes and environmental public policy. I look forward to exploring the natural and cultural heritage of Australia and I am most excited about seeing Uluru and living in Sydney.

While I'd love to leave here with an Aussie accent, I'm having enough trouble warding off that of these friendly Michiganders! Cheers!
