Maria was so great to chat to, I really got to learn more about her. It was great talking about her childhood, her journey to Australia, and some of the steps that lead her to where she is today.

Valentina was super fun to chat to, I admire her courage, resilience and determination to carve out her own path in life

Zelda is funny and charismatic and we explore some of her childhood dreams of being a table superstar and scientist.

Note- the correct Gaokao sequence is actually Day 1- Chinese and Maths and Day 2- Science and English.

Sonja is funny, adventurous and authentic. We talk anything from being a uni dropout, being sacked, starting your own business, single parenting and being bestowed the Medal of the Order of Australia.   

Note- the pronunciation of "sonja" has a similar pronunciation to "sonia." I am so sorry for the mispronunciation, Sonja! :P but I did manage to correct myself after the beginning part. 

Also, the quality of the audio is a bit muffled due to incorrect microphone settings. My bad, hope the good conversation makes up for it!

Mia was super fun to chat to and it was great to get to know more about her childhood.

Katrina is warm and compassionate but also, full of curiosity and her "just give it a go" attitude is inspiring. It's funny to see how her various professions of being the world champion power lifter, psychologist and nurse all tie in together for an extraordinary life.

It was really interesting to see how Len found his way into teaching and the breakdown of the workload. We have a chat about his various careers, and his ultimate love for "methods."

Jeremy came across his love for languages almost by accident, through taking a Spanish elective at university with friends. Jeremy loves food, travel, adventure and anything to do with broadening his horizons.
