  • Talk
  • Events

Hear the inspiring story of how Alice Pung balanced a demanding legal career with her passion for creative writing. This conversation, moderated by Aspire founder Stephen Lew, is part of the Journeys to Achievement Speaker Series, supported by the National Foundation for China-Australia Relations (NFCAR).

Discover her journey from a young assistant in her father’s appliance store, where she first learned the nuances of business law, to a celebrated writer whose award-winning books convey the struggles and triumphs of an immigrant family pursuing the 'Australian dream'.

This is a unique opportunity to learn from one of Australia's most compelling voices.
