Brad Lincoln

I love Australia because it’s home. It doesn’t matter where I go in the world, there is nowhere like Australia. Outside of Australia, my favourite place to visit Penang, Malaysia. It is an amazing place with wonderful food and friendly people.
Andrew Stewart
UK & Europe Business Manager from the Gold Coast, Australia
I love Australia because of its multicultural cities, relaxed lifestyle and great weather. Outside of Australia my favourite place in the world is Umbria, Italy.
Sara Cullen
Migration Lawyer, Education & Migration Agent
I joined Nick, Brad and Rhi at Pathway to Aus in 2017. I have never looked back. My passion is helping people. As an Aussied qualified lawyer, education and migration agent, I am well placed to help find the most suitable study option, and advise on possible future migration pathways.
Australia is a great place. I have lived and worked all over the world, including London, San Francisco, Vancouver and Wellington but as the saying goes, there is no place like home. Being back home and being able to go to work each day doing something that I love is very fulfilling. I know you will love Australia too. I look forward to helping you achieve your Aussie dream!
Lena Veritas
Migration Assistant from Columbus, Ohio, USA
I love Australia because it’s basically a massive playground for those who enjoy living outdoors. Other places that I love are Sri Lanka, Indonesia, France, Costa Rica…basically anywhere that English isn’t the first language and I can surf, practice yoga and eat amazing food.
Ana Carolina Ramos
Migration Assistant
Australia’s multiculturalism, perfect weather, and stunning landscapes are aspects I truly appreciate. The warmth and inclusivity of the Australian people towards individuals from diverse backgrounds make it a fantastic place to call home.

What I love the most about Australia are the beaches, rainforests, sunshine and chilled vibes. Outside of Australia, my favourite place is Bali.
Natasha Garland
Migration Assistant from Cardiff, Wales
I love Australia for the beautiful beaches, national parks and laidback lifestyle.
My favourite place in the world aside from home (as that is always where my heart will be), would probably be Paris. The romance, the art and museums, the food and wine all make it the perfect weekend getaway. Not forgetting that Disneyland is just outside the city if you want to channel your inner child and have lots of fun with Mickey and the gang.
Bart Hutchinson
Migration Assistant
I decided to make the change to become a Migration Agent in 2019 as I wanted a career where I can help people realise their dreams of living, studying and possibly immigrating to Australia. I love this country and want to have the opportunity to share it with people of different countries and cultures. As a result, I studied the Graduate Diploma of Migration Law and Practice which was completed in November 2019 and am now waiting to sit the Capstone Exam to become a registered Migration Agent.
I am excited to be working at Pathway to Aus and I look forward to assisting you in your future applications.

Having lived in 5 different countries throughout my life and going through all that immigration work for each one of the moves, I decided to use my background and degree in Business Development and Consulting to commingle it with a career in immigration.

My journey began as a college instructor in the field of tourism. Little did I know that this initial step would lead me to a world of boundless possibilities in international education. What drives my passion for this field is the profound belief that education has the power to change lives. Every day on the job is a reminder of why I love what I do. I have the privilege of not only imparting knowledge but also inspiring and shaping the futures of those I work with. This is what makes my work truly meaningful. My journey has also taken me beyond the borders of the Philippines. I’ve had the opportunity to explore the vibrant educational landscape of Australia, and it’s no wonder that so many aspire to study there. It’s a testament to the global allure of quality education. In my role, I am not just a professional but an advocate for the transformative potential of education. I see myself as a facilitator of dreams and aspirations, and I’m honored to play a part in helping individuals achieve their goals through education.

Having improved my adaptability and interpersonal skills helped me ensure a smooth and supportive experience for those pursuing their educational aspirations.
Navigating through the corporate landscape was a challenge for me, but now, I feel like I’ve discovered where I truly belong. The team I work with consists of kind and passionate individuals, so I can assure you that your dreams are in good hands.
