What happens when you drop out of high school, get diagnosed with ADHD and autism at 21, and then discover your perfect degree? For Keira Plozza, that path led straight to La Trobe University and a deep love of anthropology.

In this episode of Choosing Your Uni, Rob Malicki sits down with Keira to explore how she found her place—and her people—at La Trobe. From researching the unspoken rituals of the Melbourne Chess Club to studying the anthropology of witch hunts, Keira shares how university opened doors she never thought possible. She also reflects on the power of diagnosis, the reality of growing up neurodiverse, and why feedback (even brutally honest feedback) can be the greatest gift of all.

If you’ve ever felt like a late bloomer, questioned whether uni was “for you,” or just want to hear an inspiring, funny, and deeply human story—you’ll want to listen to this.
