I never take anything for granted and try and live the most positive and happy life possible. I’ve utilised that value through my personal life and career. I overcame that by working hard on myself and being surrounded by positive and uplifting people. I was bullied as a child, riddled with low self esteem. Resilience probably is the top one because I’ve learned to turn adversity into a positive. My parents have taught me resilience, respect, humility compassion and gratefulness. I’ve had many life lessons and will continue to learn more. What has been your biggest lesson in life you have learnt so far? I’m so grateful for all the things I’ve learned so far and will keep learning well into my older years! It’s taken me around the country and around the world. It’s ironic I ended up at the station I always watched! I wanted to start writing for newspapers but ended up on radio and then into TV. It’s a career full of surprises, be it chasing the bad guys outside of court, jumping out of helicopters, heading overseas on a breaking story or meeting every day people who have inspiring stories. I grew up with 60 Minutes, the Sunday program and most nights, we’d watch National Nine News which is of course Nine News these days. I always enjoyed watching the news and current affair shows. What made you choose the Media Industry as a career? But I’m working on some mittens! Like cooking, I find knitting extremely therapeutic. I’ve only managed to knit a couple of scarves. It’s such a fun hobby and I think fast becoming a popular pastime. People are aware of my love for cooking but I’ve recently taken up knitting. Tell us something about Tracy that we don’t know? I’m definitely not an expert but I like experimenting with different colours and textures. I’m really into interior styling at the moment.

I naturally got their passion for cooking. I had the wonderful opportunity to write about their escape following the Vietnam war and their life settling in Perth in my memoir Small Bamboo.Ĭook - My dad was a chef and mum was a baker. I ask a lot of questions!Īuthor - my parents are Vietnamese refugees. I think that’s why journalism is the perfect fit. Journalist - My brain is wired to be intrigued.
