AMana Mausoom joined MONSU Peninsula in 2025, and quite literally broke the volunteering program. Her commitment and passion during her first year was unmatched and she quickly became a regular presence at many events, most notably at Breakfast Bar. In that year, she completed more than 100 hours volunteering with MONSU, carapulting her to legend status in the eyes of her MONSU family.
Although Amana was graduating in mid-2026, she returned to make the most of her time with MONSU, continuing he colunteering. She has been both a mentor for new volunteers as well as a well respected, experienced member of the team, regularly sought out for her guidance and wisdom.
Within semester one 2026, Amana made the Herculean effort to complete 90 hours, before being elected to MONSU General Officer in a bi election. Despite the short term she would serce, the community understood the important role Amana held with MONSU, and wished to honour that before her graduation.
Amana's legacy with MONSU is not simply based on her determination, it has been her kindness and warmth that has set the tone for our MONSU events for the last two years. There is no doubt her impact on our community will last for years to come.
