Education
My Journey in Australia
Dudu Sunny’s journey started from TAFE SA as an IT student in 2008. During her undergraduate years at the University of South Australia in 2012, she majored in Media Arts to digitize her creative talent while continuing her exploration of traditional fine art. Subsequently, she immersed herself in the artistic domain.
​
When the pandemic struck, she embarked on a legal education journey in 2020 with two local law schools at the University of Adelaide and the University of South Australia, followed by enrolment at the College of Law at the Australian National University in 2023, allowing her to experience various styles of legal education (currently taking program leave).
