Now she has landed her dream job. ‘Without my degree I wouldn’t have the job I have today,’ she says. ‘I am delighted to have got it straight out of uni.’ Melissa is a horse racing judge, edits a racing magazine, and helps administer a breeding incentive scheme – all part of her multi-faceted role with Thoroughbred Racing South Australia. ‘I have always loved horses and the opportunity to work professionally in the racing industry was something I could never knock back,’ she says.

Her success in business and commerce subjects in Year 12, combined with her interest in marketing, attracted Melissa to Deakin’s Management degree.
