The Last 27 Years: The Podcast chronicling the lives of students from Class of 1995 Sydney Girls High School

The Last 27 Years Podcast featuring Dunia Goh

Dunia has a double degree in Law and business that's she's never used on principle! Having a 'tiger mum' she decided to pursue her own path and she hasn't let any of the health issues she's struggled with since childhood rob her of her adventurous spirit and contagious positivity. Dunia is truly inspiring to me and I got a lot of our hearing her story. I hope you all do as well.

The Last 27 Years Episode 20 featuring Camila Cremonese

Camila has lived in various countries, speaks multiple languages and has varied interests. She definitely reminds me of that old cliche "still waters run deep" as she certainly has a depth to her that not immediately apparent, as she comes across initially as so calm and collected. I admire her love of animals and relate to her interests in martial arts and weight lifting. I hope you all enjoy catching up with Camila as much as I did x
