My name is Dechen, and I am currently in my second year of studying Biomedical Engineering. Although I grew up in Sydney, my Tibetan heritage through my dad has always been an important part of my life.

This will be my second Tibet Lobby Day. Attending last year gave me a much better understanding of the importance of Lobby Day in raising awareness of Tibet and ensuring that Tibetan voices are heard by Australian policymakers. I am looking forward to taking part again this year, continuing to learn and contributing where I can.
