 Hi, I'm Michelle Howie. I'm from the University of South Australia and I was a 2015 New Colombo Plan Scholar studying in Korea, interned at Telstra in Hong Kong and now I'm the technical lead of Telstra's 5G Innovation Centre on the Gold Coast. We can't deny that Asia is really leading the way in technology and innovation and it's really exciting to be here in an Australian company utilizing my experience to help forge those long-term partnerships with with local businesses and with global partners. When international partners come here to innovate with us then they feel more comfortable and we get better results because I'm able to relate to them and I'm able to better understand when they're coming from and join those dots so to speak. I do see myself in the future working with Asian businesses, particularly Korea, because I think I have a good understanding of both the Australian and the Asian culture, Australian and the Korean culture and how they can sort of complement each other, especially in innovation and technology. I'm so passionate about what we're doing here and it's you know even though my scholarship finished three years ago I still continue to think about how it's impacted my life and every day from the study I do on the weekend to the food that I eat, the friends I hang out with and yeah every step along the way I'm still thinking about how that experience changed my life.
