While he can't divulge anything about I Will Survive: Priscilla, Sean says it gives him a "platform of exposure to show Australia who I am, where I came from, what I believe in, and ultimately what I can do".

Though she built her early career as an IT specialist, Rina Neoh found an MBA with CQUniversity to be a flexible and affordable way to broaden her horizons, and she's now focused on helping innovators gain venture capital..
