Raise a glass to our Best Wine Student
A University of 亚洲色吧 student has been named Best Wine Student in the country.
Karlee Cook, who is studying a Masters in Wine Business, received the accolade at the 2022 Wine Communicator Awards in Sydney.
鈥淚 am very grateful to have been awarded the Best Wine Student Award,鈥 Ms Cook said.
鈥淚 work full time in human resources and study my Masters in the evenings, which can feel like a pressure cooker at times.
鈥淗owever, it has been so rewarding and relieving to be recognised for the hard work I have put into my degree to date.鈥
It was during a COVID lockdown in 2020 when Ms Cook considered changing careers and started the Masters in Wine Business.
鈥淢y ultimate ambition is to run a small cellar door in the 亚洲色吧 Hills, but if it doesn鈥檛 work out, working in wine tourism and creating experiences for cellar doors would be amazing,鈥 she said.
鈥淚 have had incredible experiences at cellar doors that encouraged me to move into this industry, and I want to create that feeling for people.
鈥淚 am over the moon to have achieved such high recognition for my work which has encouraged me to continue working at this trajectory in the remainder of my studies.
