Grace Nguyen, or to give her her Vietnamese name, Ngoc Thanh Tu Nguyen, is not perhaps your typical Vietnamese accounting graduate. She came to Tasmania 8 years ago with some music and business studies in Ho Chi Minh City behind her. In her time in Tasmania she's been a volunteer for the Wilderness Society, sang with the Southern Gospel Choir, played a role in a music with a local theatre company and even tried her hand at pole dancing classes , and that's on top of having studied a three-year degree in a language that she really struggled with on first arrival.
Grace also offers some great advice on one of the toughest issues facing new migrants to Tasmania - how to tap into the "hidden" jobs market.
