College graduate and 2020 Dux, Chezka Capilitan, has achieved excellence after graduating from Lowanna College. Chezka studied a Bachelor of Science at Monash University, majoring in Human Physiology, which she completed in 2023. In 2024, she commenced a Masters of Medical Ultrasound and later switched to a Bachelor of Medical Science and Doctor of Medicine program, which she started this year in Gippsland (Churchill Campus).

In her spare time, she plays basketball, which she often competed in during her time at Lowanna, and also likes going on hikes.

It's always fantastic to connect with our LSA graduates.
