Shy no more, Esther ready for account for herself
Published on 15 September, 2011
CQUniversity student Esther Tarosa is looking forward to using her accounting degree skills to help develop the profession in her home country of Vanuatu.
But Esther's new skill set goes beyond the official curriculum.

"I'm a shy person but by coming to Australia I think I've improved and will be more outspoken," she says.
Esther has been able to complete her Bachelor of Accounting thanks to an Australian Development Scholarship, and she recommends others from her home country seek the chance to come 'down under'.
"Most others go to campuses in Fiji, Samoa or PNG but I'd recommend they come to Australia and experience a new culture," she says.
Esther completes her degree in October but she'll return to Rockhampton in February for her graduation ceremony.
During her time in Australia, she's made plenty of campus and church friends and has been able to travel to Sydney and throughout central and southern Queensland.
