Journey to Freedom

Sunny is a naturalized Australian citizen. She believes that human rights are the fundamental protection of our dignity and overall well-being. Contrary to her bohemian spirit in artistic pursuit, her expedition into both the legal field and technology is linked to her strong sense of curiosity.
