ANNE Dufficy wanted to pursue a career where she could learn new skills, meet new people and travel the world.

“I love talking about our peop songs, our dance, traditions and ticular our food,” she said.
“My mum cooks the best trad food, and during NAIDOC Wee brations in Townsville, she will s stall with traditional Torres Strait food.”
