Meet one of Wyndham’s newest dinky-di Aussies.
Pinal Subedi was one of 480 Wyndham locals to officially become Australian citizens at a citizenship ceremony last month, hosted by Wyndham council.
The 23-year-old Werribee resident moved to Australia from Nepal in 2013 when she was 17 years old, intent on studying for an accounting and finance degree.
“I had my cousin here, so it was a lot easier [to come here], because I don’t have any other family in other countries,” she said. “I think my parents also loved that my cousin was here, so if I needed help, I could just ask him.
“It was difficult [at first], but Australia is beautiful and everything is good here, so I slowly started to get the hang of it.”
Ms Subedi has since graduated and now works for ANZ.
She has also found love in Australia, with her partner, Kapil Sharma, also becoming an Australian citizen last month.
The pair celebrated by having friends over for a barbecue.
