Testimonals

Being a part of The Rising Edge community has been a transformative experience. As a student immigrant, I struggled to navigate multiple challenges of life abroad alongside study. Susie not only helped me build my confidence and set clear goals, but also went above and beyond by offering continued guidance on health, career, and finances.
I now feel empowered to embrace the opportunities around me and overcome the uncertainties that once held me back. I am confident that this initiative will support overseas students in a way they need.
Her energy is great and she lights up everyone with hope and optimism.

Priya Shah, Southern Cross University

Susie really connects with international students and their stories of struggle, and has a great empathy to connect with the people who need it most

Gayle Herring, Speaker

When I heard about Susie’s journey to Australia, I was deeply moved by the courage and resilience it took. I see her strength in every step she’s taken. Leaving behind everything familiar and building a new life takes incredible bravery. I admire her unwavering spirit, her warmth, and the hope she carries for her small family. Susie, you truly belong here, and I’m so grateful to know you. Wherever she goes, she brings light. This initiative is sure to inspire many immigrants out there, who have taken a huge leap of faith just like herself.

Frankie Comito, Former Bank Professional (ANZ)

I just had a chance to listen to Susie speak. Wow ! As an immigrant and the partner of an immigrant it resonated with me. Her story of the challenges she faced as a stranger in a strange land, how she overcame them and shifted her mindset from victim to victor is truly inspirational . Her talk gives all of us -immigrant and natural born citizens alike a framework and a model to build the self worth we need and create the success we all desire. Don’t miss the chance to hear her speak.

Matthew McQuinley, Business Mentor & Radio Host

I’ve known Susie for all her struggles and how she conquered everything with a graceful positive mindset. Susie has set an example as a student immigrant & I truly believe that her movement The Risng Edge would inspire and continue to motivate so many lives!!!
