Episode 44 - Elise Giles
from Remarkable Tales Hosted by Griffith University
Only a few years after graduating from her Griffith business degree, Elise Giles is now one of the leading young minds encouraging us to look to Asia for our future. Last year she was recognised as an ASEAN Australia young leader, having worked and studied across Asia, including Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea. She grew up in outback Queensland with little interest in the region, but credits opportunities provided by the Griffith Honours College including a pivotal study trip to South Korea, combined with an Asian studies course, for ’catapulting’ her deep interest and love for Asia. As Elise tells us on this episode of Remarkable Tales, she returned from Vietnam to Australia just as COVID-19 hit, and Australia has much to learn from emerging economies such as Vietnam, for the incredible success they had combatting the pandemic crisis.
