Biography

Maja has lived in Sydney for all of her life. She attended St. George Girls’ High School in Kogarah from Year 7 through Year 12, participating in a range of extra-curricular and academic activities and graduating as Dux in 2019.

Maja is currently studying at the University of Sydney. Her combined Arts/Law degree allows her to combine her long-held passion for languages and her newfound interest in economics with her enjoyment of logical argument.

Alongside tutoring, Maja coaches and adjudicates school-aged debating and participates in debating and mooting competitions herself. She’d like to travel widely one day, but in the meantime enjoys exploring the many scenic parts of Sydney. This year, she hopes she’ll finally make progress on her ever-growing reading list.
