Suvi Lokuge
Suvi is a fourth year Bachelor of Economics (honours) student at Monash University. She is currently Director of Publications for ESSA, having progressed from the roles of Editor, Editor for Equilibrium (our annual magazine) and Writer.
Tired of assumptions that economics is solely about money and markets, Suvi joined ESSA to portray economics in a fairer light.
Suvi spends her leisure time outdoors kayaking and bouldering. On her less adventurous days, she can be found curled up with her rescued greyhound, watching netflix or playing (the very addictive) xbox cooking game with her boyfriend.
