For those who read our regular blog post, you may have been curious about our writer - David Nguyen. So, let us introduce you!

Hi guys, my name is David Nguyen. I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I was born in 1994 and raised in Australia but my background is Vietnamese (as you can probably already tell from my surname). At home I speak a mixture of English and Vietnamese. In 2015, I completed a Bachelor of Science with a major in Psychology at The University of Melbourne and am currently studying a Diploma of Information Technology at RMIT University. I have a strong interest in anything related to film and usually go to the cinemas to watch the latest flick that is showing. The most recent film I've watched at the cinemas would be Su***de Squad. My hobbies include playing recreational tennis on the weekends, reading newspapers and books and also playing the guitar from time to time. I also enjoy watching sports as much as I enjoy playing them. This includes AFL, tennis and cricket. In AFL, I barrack for the Hawthorn Football Club (go Hawks!) and my favourite player to watch in tennis would have to be Roger Federer.

Best regards,

David
