About
I was born in Vietnam but arrived in Australia as a refugee with my brother Anh and Mum and Dad.
I grew up in western Sydney and attended school at St Aloysius College in Milson’s Point. I studied arts at the University of Sydney where I developed a passion for storytelling after participating in theatresports and stand-up comedy at the Manning Bar.
Since then I’ve worked in a variety of fields including film and television, keynote speaking, philanthropy, volunteering and the arts.
I currently live in Adelaide with my family.

FAQs for Students
I’m aware that our family’s story is being studied by a number of schools across the country and so I’m often asked by students to respond to questions regarding our story or my own personal experiences.
Unfortunately I don’t have time to respond to all requests so I’ve collated a PDF download here with the questions I’m most often sent which I hope might help any student who may be interested.
