Stephanie Gale
Stephanie is a final year BCom/LLB student at Monash University.
Her passion for economics was first encouraged at high school, upon realising that she actually enjoyed watching the federal budget broadcast as part of a Year 12 assessment! More broadly, she enjoys the sheer applicability of economics to everyday issues and problems, ranging from Australia’s largest policy debates to whether she decides to indulge in a trip to the beach, rather than studying - the economic laws of opportunity cost and choice are ubiquitous, and can allow for the making of better, informed (and hence, logical!) decisions.
Outside of her studies (and thesis on corruption law), she loves to travel, cook pastry-based dishes and try to keep fit.
