2022 ADC Project Leader
Supervisor, Employment & Industry Relations
ADC is a collaboration in a competitive spirit. 2022 season is a rewarding journey for me where I enriched my experience by meeting various industry partners and students from RMIT & 8 other Universities in Vietnam. We all shared the same vision and mission - supporting people with special conditions in the workplace.
As the project leader of ADC 2022, I am very proud of the achievement and social impact that students and the industry partners made together. I believe that, with empathy and care for other people, anyone can make the difference.
