CASSIE
Fun fact:Any of my students will know this – but it will surprise most people. I like to grow super-hot chillies, I have about 5 or 6 plants, and 2 of those are Carolina Reapers. Yes, I do eat them too, not off the tree, but mixed tastefully into food! (Reaper chilli chocolate is *chefs kiss*)
Fave cuisine:Thai – What can I say, I love spice, no surprise there
Nationality: Australian
Fave pastime: I like to play MMORPG’s like Runescape if I manage to get spare time, sometimes I will play other games. Lately I have been spending most of my time planning my wedding for later this year
Job role & how Cassie can help you: I am a Project Management/ Business Mentor here at EE. I can help you with your studies in either of these courses, or even to gain knowledge on tools/strategies to use to plan and manage your time/budgets better. I can also provide spicy chillies, if that is your thing to add a bit of zing to the bland Aussie diet.
SEBASTIAN
Fun fact: I love playing soccer, I have played since I was a child and still do. I play for a soccer team every Sunday where it is just for fun, and I like working out too twice a week
Fave cuisine: Italian (pasta and pizza) and Mexican food
Nationality: Colombian
Fave pastime: Movies, watching soccer, video-games, and visiting towns near my city with my family/friends
Job role & how Sebastian can help you:I am the offshore representative for Latin America, so I am in charge of recruiting students to travel to Australia and study at Entrepreneur and ensure they have a great experience! We also help them with all the process in terms of visa, accommodation, payments, jobs among others.
