Tiara is originally from Johor, Malaysia but currently resides in
Brisbane, Australia. She is fiishing a Creative Industries degree at
QUT, specializing in Creative Writing and CI Management. She wants to
be a KaosPilot in Arhus, Denmark.
Tiara's true passion is alternative education; she firmly believes that
there is much more to learning than just the four walls of school, and
that everyone has the right to pursue their dreams through their own
ways of learning. She shares her passion through her blog,
EducateDeviate (http://educatedeviate.wordpress.com), and writes up about it in various presses.
She also aims to live such a life by pursuing related opportunities,
such as travelling internationally for a semester with Up with People,
being part of the ActNow Incubator, and signing up for as many youth
conferences as possible. Tiara is also passionate about youth issues,
human rights, multiculturalism, and anti-discrimination issues. She
worked in the QUT Student Guild for a while and volunteers extensively.
She also writes, spends a lot of time online, travels, performs,
experiments, and tries nearly everything that looks a little bit
intriguing and perhaps a lot crazy.
