Vo Thi Nhu Mai (Mai White) was born in Dalat city, and worked as a high school English teacher for 5 years. She then moved to Australia to complete her Graduate Diploma in Primary Teaching, then Master Degree in literacy. She has been working as a primary school teacher since 2004. Mai writes for fun. Her poetry publications in Vietnamese are many (11+ in total). Mai is the founder and owner of the website called THE RHYTHM OF VIETNAM. It is beautifully presented and crafted, the work of authors is neatly translated, decorated and posted on a daily basis.
Lee Lam, a primary school teacher in Vietnam for 30 years. She moved to Perth a few years ago, loves poetry and has composed poems sometimes
Emma Hanh Ma was born in Vietnam, and works as an Australian Pharmacist who is rather entrepreneurial. In 2022, Emma was honoured to be inducted into the WA Womens’ Hall of Fame where she was one of the youngest inductees. Her attitude is “No matter how things may appear in life, embrace the moment as everything and everyone in front of us is actually our TEACHER for our personal and ‘collective’ growth. Keep an open mind and welcome life experiences with opened arms and an open HEART.
