Fiji’s brazen athlete Braelynn Yee continues to shine, both as a competitor on the track and in the academic world. Recently, she was selected for the prestigious Griffith Asia Business Internship 2025 while studying for her Bachelor of Business at Griffith University in Australia. This exciting opportunity will enable her to spend six weeks in Seoul, South Korea, starting July 3, gaining invaluable international business experience while balancing her full-time studies.
The announcement made by Athletics Fiji celebrates Yee’s remarkable accomplishments and her dedication as a scholar-athlete known for her exceptional discipline and ambition. Despite the rigors of the internship, Yee, who is also a recipient of the Oceania Athletics & Academics Scholarship, plans to adhere to her structured training regimen under the guidance of her coach, having already pinpointed training facilities near her temporary residence in Seoul.
Yee’s remarkable ability to juggle elite athletics with academic pursuits exemplifies the goal of the Oceania Athletics & Academics Scholarship program—empowering young Pacific athletes to strive for excellence in both arenas. Her family’s gratitude is extended towards organizations like Yvonne Mullins, Oceania Athletics, the Australia Foundation, and Griffith University for their unwavering support throughout her journey.
