Nineteen year old Abby Hill is in China on an Intern Scholarship and is one of 30 university students from around the world, participating in the 2018 Nanjing International Youth Exchange Program.
Her mum Julie said she is proud Abby is one of only four Australians selected to represent their country.
“Abby feels especially honoured as a young female Australian to have been asked to MC the closing ceremony, presenting her speech in Mandarin,” Julie said.

She has spent her Internship working at Bunge which is a major International Agricultural food company in Nanjing.
