Rob Ferritto

Biography

Having graduated from Curtin University with a double degree in chemical engineering and economics, Robert now plans to study an MPhil at Oxford as the next step in achieving his dream of making access to clean water and sanitation a universal reality. He aims to do this as a means of granting the vulnerable across the world opportunities he has been afforded. Throughout his university career, he has volunteered with various areas of the community including people living with disabilities, families experiencing homelessness, and mentoring young leaders. In his spare time, Robert enjoys playing rugby and tennis, spending time with friends, and singing in the shower (although, not well - or so he's told).
