As an ASEAN Youth Ambassador, I serve as a vital link between local communities and high-level policy frameworks. My contribution centers on implementing strategic initiatives that range from coordinating grassroots collaborations to facilitating high-stakes dialogue with government departments and NGOs. This platform has provided a powerful vehicle for advocacy, allowing me to serve the broader community while achieving significant personal and professional milestones.

 

 My journey began in Year 10 with the Lao Community during their New Year celebrations, but my advocacy reached a pivotal breakthrough in 2023 during the ASEAN Refugee Week Celebration. Serving as a panellist alongside the Hon. Matt Thistlethwaite MP, I helped to bridge the gap between lived experience and legislative authority.

 

Building on this momentum, I was invited to Parliament House, Canberra, in November 2024. Hosted by Dr. Andrew Charlton MP and the Hon. Chris Bowen MP, this gathering was a historic milestone. 

 

Representing the youth voice in the heart of Australian democracy reinforced the weight of my responsibility as an ambassador.
