I was  also awarded the top student prize by the Taxation Institute of  Australia.<\/p>\n<p>Both Monash College and University offer a friendly atmosphere for  learning, a comprehensive database of books and online journals, and an  opportunity to enrich learning through taking subjects of my interest  and short courses. The Student Services at Monash University advised me  to take two minors along with my major, which significantly helped widen  my career options.<\/p>\n<p>I currently work at the Authority for Electricity Regulation which is  responsible for implementing policy in relation to the electricity and  related water sector in Oman. I gained experience in economics, law,  research and policy while working on projects such as renewable energy  initiatives, automated metering, residential energy use research, and  the National Energy Strategy of Oman.<\/p>\n<p>I have now been accepted to study the Masters of Public Policy at the  University of Oxford. Upon completion of this degree, my career will be  focused on renewable energy and energy efficiency policies, as well as  the general energy strategy of Oman.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bushra Al-Maskari<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Monash College and Monash University Alumni<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"http:\/\/monashcollegestudents.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/06\/bushra-al-maskari.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1993\" src=\"http:\/\/monashcollegestudents.files.wordpress.com\/2014\/06\/bushra-al-maskari.jpg\" alt=\"MUELC Brochure\" width=\"113\" height=\"159\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMy name is Bushra Al-Maskari and I am a Regulatory Specialist at the Authority for Electricity Regulation in Oman. <span style=\"color:#777\"> . . . &rarr; Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/2014\/06\/10\/from-monash-college-to-oxford-university\/\">From Monash College to Oxford University<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":971,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3268],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/971"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2000"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2003,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2000\/revisions\/2003"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2000"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2000"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.monash.edu\/monash-agents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2000"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
