  Founded in August 2008, Meld Magazine is an online platform which facilitate the growth of a healthy international student community online, and help the community find a respectful place in Australian life and society by giving them a voice – Meld cited as a good practice example in the Australian Human Rights Commission’s Principles to promote and protect the human rights of international students, in October 2012. As part of the Meld Editorial Team, I collaborated with a group of dedicated writers to generate dialogue and informative and entertainment news for international students residing in Melbourne. These articles included bite-size movie reviews and event listings, street interview soundbites and compiled weekly news stories relevant to our audience. I occasionally write for Meld despite being based in Singapore on topics relevant to Singaporean students residing or returning from Melbourne. Show less
