A Wedding Planning Styling & Design Student Success Story

written by

Jac

One of my favourite things to do each month is catch up with a student or graduate for our Student of the Month feature.  This month we are meeting a Ushvinie, who is now a Graduate.  I had the pleasure of tutoring Ushvinie whilst she completed our Wedding Planning Styling and Design course, with the Australian Academy of Wedding & Event Planning campus.
Since Graduating, Ushvinie has launched her business Emerald Events by Ush.  Of finding her passion and launching her business Ushvinie said:

“My life feels so complete now, it’s such a nice feeling being able to really live and breathe a passion…”

If you have been thinking of studying with us to launch a business I encourage you to take 5 minutes out of your day to read my interview with Ushvinie.  Ushvinie still works full-time in her Corporate job and has some great tips for how to follow your passion, regardless of what other commitments you have in your life.  She is an excellent example of what can be achieved if you have passion and a hard work ethic and we are so proud to be able to share some of her story with you this month.
