His employment, education, and former internships have been verified by Business Insider. This piece has been edited for length and clarity. When I did my three-month internship with LoanOptions.ai in Sydney, I didn't do anyone's photocopying or make tea and coffee. I worked on projects."
"I planned to leave Vietnam to study and work I knew that I'd most likely study abroad, which my dad wanted and was common among students at my high school, and end up living in another country. I saw that the SP Jain School of Global Management offered scholarships and had a campus in Sydney. As a developed country with lots of opportunities for work, Australia seemed like a good place to get an education."
