Dear students in QLD

Please find following an event to be held at the NAA Cannon Hill next week.

Having had the pleasure of attended Joanna’s presentation in Perth, I encourage you to attend this ASA Qld Branch event. Joanna is an engaging and knowledgeable speaker and her book fascinating.

For some you may also know Joanna’s name as someone that marks your work ☺.

Go along, listen, learn and network!

Kind regards
Bec
