I am working towards achieving high scores in my academic studies and acquiring professional work experience to prepare myself for my future career. I have already completed my Bachelor of Communication at RMIT University and have been working in Vietnam as a Marketing Specialist for nearly 2 years. 

I chose to come to Darwin to pursue my master's degree, expand my knowledge, and learn more about new cultures. My degree allow me to understand how to develop marketing strategies aligned with Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development Goals. Through my studies, I am hoping to support an inclusive, sustainable, and peaceful society in Darwin. Although the course was challenging at the beginning, the university provided a variety of resources and services to help students prepare their assessments in the best ways, which I found very beneficial. These include library and tutor services. Moreover, lecturers at CDU are so supportive in helping me learn how to effectively do research and write academically.

Regarding employment opportunities, I have had a chance to work as a Resident Leader at CDU, enabling me to gain hands-on skills and comprehend more about cultures and social inclusion in Australia. 

Being selected as a Student Ambassador for Study NT is an opportunity for me to support international students in adapting to the Northern Territory’s environment and cultures. Furthermore, I can prepare myself for my future career by sharpening my interpersonal and technical skills, as my dream is to be employed by the NT Government. 

I am committed to providing assistance to international students and introduce how great it is to study abroad in Darwin through multiple amazing offers by Study NT to my connections during and after this program. I have fallen in love with Darwin since the first month I came here thanks to the exceptional academic quality, supportiveness of lecturers, various employment opportunities, and the kindness of people.
