About Sarah Bourke

International Award Winning P.A.S.S Leader | Griffith University Honours Student | Nation Branding Enthusiast | Academic Excellence Award Recipient (2022, 2023)| Asia Pacific Research Advocate | Mentor 🤝 | Aspiring Race Car Driver With over 15 years of experience leading quick-service restaurants, I bring a unique expertise to the business world. I have a proven track record of delivering results and driving success. I've completed my Bachelor of Business with a Marketing Major and a Bachelor of Government and International Relations with an International Relations Major. I received the Griffith Academic Excellence award in 2022 and 2023, with a GPA of 6.7 for both years. My deep passion for research in the Asia Pacific region drives my academic pursuits. I'm dedicated to understanding the complexities of this diverse and dynamic area through research into Nation Branding, examining how states within the region interact. I believe that sound research is critical to making meaningful contributions to understanding this region's unique challenges and opportunities. In 2024, I'll commence work on my Honours thesis, furthering my commitment to academic excellence and research. Griffith University has recognised my dedication by awarding me scholarships, including BusinessPLUS Future Leaders, Widening Participation, Brighter Futures, and Mainfreight. As a Senior P.A.S.S. Leader at the Griffith Business School, I'm committed to nurturing the next generation of business leaders through proven Supplemental Instruction theories. I am passionate about PASS and helping students break dependency cycles. I develop and facilitate sessions based on module content and learning theory to enhance student learning and study skills. For 2023, I was awarded the International Exceptional Veteran SI/PASS Leader Award, and will attend the International SI Conference in Baltimore to showcase my skills in June 2024. I've also served as the Student Director of the Government and International Relations Student Mentor Program and have been involved with the Griffith MATES Program. On the weekends, I indulge in my passion for race car driving, where I've been known to hold my own against some impressive drivers!
