Background

My name is Pooja Bhageria and I’m from the land of spices, cinema and cultural heritage. I was raised in Hyderabad, India in a nuclear family and moved to Melbourne about a year ago. Since the age of five, I indulged myself in building Lego blocks higher and higher till the ceiling of my room. Back then I had limits to construct those blocks, but now at the age of 23, ceilings no longer hinder my endurance and resilience to break me down. I seek to be an entrepreneur. And entrepreneurship, not just for economic benefits, but the agenda is to ‘Transcend and Innovate’. Devoting myself to smooth communications, managing responsibilities with load, marketing ideas, auditing finances with capacities and leading queues wasn’t a silver spoon for me. I’ve excelled in a few mentioned above, and stumbled in the rest, and to be curious to learn will just be one of many strides which is when I decided to enroll myself into the Master of Business program at Monash University.

I pursued Bachelor of Business Administration back at home and undertook various internships throughout the duration of my bachelors. I have a prominent background in leadership roles during my high school and bachelors. As I’ve cultured through these experiences, each person on a team is an extension of your leadership; if they feel empowered by you they will magnify your power to lead. And thus, I decided to take up this opportunity to work relentlessly towards the progress and empowerment of students. I constantly advocate about issues such as gender equality, violence, animal welfare and student rights.  I have the urge to work with people with same interests and intentions to make decisions which have an influence beyond my personal desires. As your new Caulfield Campus Representative, I plan to initiate campus-based activities and events for enhancing the postgraduate experience at Monash University and will constantly try to understand and solve all student related issues through regular and effective communication with the community. Please feel free to get in touch with me regarding any issues and concerns or any ideas you might have to improve our current offerings.

Personal Interests

I’ve been passionate about dancing from the early years of my childhood. I love traveling and exploring new activities and interests. I’m a huge binge watcher when it comes to movies and TV shows.
