University of Queensland alumnus Tahlia Smith will be heading to Oxford after being named Queensland's 2022 Rhodes Scholar.
Ms Smith, who graduated as Valedictorian from UQ in 2019 with a Bachelor of International Studies and a Diploma of Languages studying both French and Spanish, currently works as a global engagement advisor at the Australian Trade and Investment Commission.
“As a public servant during the global pandemic, I understand the critical importance of effective public policy and strong international collaboration during times of uncertainty,” Ms Smith said.
Ms Smith plans to study a Master in Diplomatic Studies at Oxford University followed by a Master of Public Policy.
