My name is Edward Sethaphanich but you can call me Eddie. I was born in Singapore and lived there for 12 years coming to Australia in 2018. I am Chinese, Indian, Thai and Filipino by descent. I enjoy serving the community and being academically challenged (despite going to a sports school). Some of my achievements include writing two speeches to parliament and winning a ‘Special Visionary Award’ from Spark Tank. I am very honoured to be part of the Spark Advisory Board serving as a Youth Ambassador.
