Matthew Layton and Sam Rickard present Studio 1 - Vision Australia Radio’s weekly look at life from a low vision and blind point of view.

This week:

Christine Ha.

Christine first came to the world’s attention when she won one of the first series of Masterchef, her relationship with Gordon Ramsey in particular tugging at the heart strings of many watching.

In this interview we have a chance to get to know a woman who is so much more than a contestant on a cooking show, 

Christine has two degrees to her name - one in Business Administration and one in fine arts - both of which she acquired as she was losing her sight.

Christine speaks with incredible dignity about what it was like to lose her sight in her early twenties and the challenge of learning how to cook without sight.

Now the proprietor of two restaurants in Houston, Texas, Christine talks eloquently of the energy and resilience required by business owners in the service sectors over the last couple of years.
