Camtu aims high in life

May 31, 2004

Minister for the Illawarra, Mr David Campbell, recently launched the motivational book, Aim High Fly Fast, by former student and employee of the University of Wollongong, Camtu Pham.

It has been a long journey for Ms Pham since she migrated to Australia from Vietnam 20 years ago, barely able to speak a word of English. She has since completed her HSC, a Master's degree in commerce and a degree in computer science from UOW.

While at UOW, Ms Pham managed the UOW website and the Y2K projects, the UniCentre Leadership and Business Development Program and lectured for management and e-business in 2000 and 2001. She later founded an information technology consultative business called CleverLink in 1998 which was recently recognised alongside Yahoo, Canon and Nokia as one of the top IT companies in Australia.

Ms Pham has decided to give 20 per cent of all sales from her book (which will be published in several languages including Vietnamese ) to the Fred Hollows Foundation. She said the book was full of ideas and techniques to help people achieve more in life by understanding themselves better and appreciating what they had.

Aim High Fly Fast is available from www.FoodForMyBrain.com; and also the UniCentre Bookshop, and Wollongong Dymocks.
