As a double major in environmental studies and viola performance, I split my studies between the University\u2019s Parkville campus (the academic hub), the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music campus (the music conservatory), and field trips around the Australian state of Victoria. Every morning I would grab a flat white and hop on one of Melbourne\u2019s iconic trams down Swanston across the Yarra River to my morning orchestra rehearsal at the Conservatorium. I had the amazing opportunity to study viola with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra\u2019s principal violist, and performed in Melbourne\u2019s famous Hamer Hall in orchestra, solo, and chamber music concerts. The orchestra became my musical family, and I consider some of them my closest friends to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Every Friday, I would wake up before sunrise to catch a train at Flinders Station bound for a different breathtaking natural wonder to study Australian vegetation through my field course. I also started volunteering with University\u2019s Environmental Collective at their locally sourced food Co-Op, and became plugged into an amazing family of grassroots environmentalists. Inspired by an Indigenous Australian Environmental Philosophy course I was taking at uni, I attended the Enviro Collective\u2019s 10-day backpacking trip along the east coast of Tasmania led by an Aboriginal Australian Elder. The trip\u2019s goal was to observe Aboriginal connection with Country (natural environment), and explore the philosophical and spiritual implications of caring for Country. This trip fundamentally changed the way I perceived the natural world, and profoundly influenced my career trajectory. Studying abroad reaffirmed my passions and goals. Exploring new perspectives and the beauty and diversity of the world lit a flame in me, and I cannot wait for the next adventure.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron was featured in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/news\/stories\/student-interveaves-environmental-studies-and-viola\/\">Dornsife News!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n  <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I studied abroad at the University of Melbourne, and it was one of the most profound experiences of my life.
