PEOPLE PREVIEW – From nursing ambition to environmental science

Listen to this article:

AS a child, Shayal Dutt’s dream was to become a nurse.

After years of sacrifice and hard work, she graduated last month from the University of the South Pacific with a bachelor’s degree in environmental science.
