Brad Cullen – Justice Studies and Forensics
Being the rst in his family to attend university, Brad has faced a number of challenges as he transitioned to the city from the regional coastal environment in Ulladulla. He supported himself through his nal years of schooling and understands the importance of gaining a higher education.
Brad has spent many hours volunteering at the Ulladulla Soup Kitchen, considering himself lucky to have somewhere to live and a job to support his own needs. His aim is to transfer his degree to one of law and social work and the support of the scholarship provided by the Rotary Club of Hall has enabled him to spend more of his time studying and less working. Brad will also be attending RYLA in January 2016.
