My Story

Hello! I am a third-year student specialising in green business management and ESG. Beyond academics, my interests extend to the worlds of sports and music.

Volunteering Experience

"Community Service Programme" by EFCC Shan Fook Church
Organising a carnival for the elderly, co-creating a tutorial program for low-income students, and reaching out to those in need during the pandemic are driven by a deep emotional connection to the people around me. It's about more than activities; it's about creating moments of joy, fostering a sense of togetherness, and making a genuine impact in the lives of my neighbours under "age of worry". When we are living in an era marked by heightened concerns and uncertainties, I really believe that community involvement can foster unity and strength for my home community.
"ReThink HK" by EnviroEvents Limited
My dedication to environmental sustainability is rooted in the belief that the well-being of humanity is intrinsically linked to the health of our planet; The ReThink HK initiative has significantly heightened my environmental acuity through immersive two-day workshops and insightful talks. This volunteer experience has not only expanded my understanding of environmental issues but has also motivated me to extend my volunteer efforts. I am eager to contribute further to initiatives that promote sustainability and foster a greater sense of environmental responsibility within our community.

Job experience

Event Logistics Coordinator and Social Content Creator
Being the support backbone for distinguished speakers has been a true joy. I've dedicated over 40 hours to ensuring that not only are their on-site needs met seamlessly but also that the connection between speakers and the audience is enhanced. It's more than just managing logistics; it's about fostering an environment where meaningful interactions can flourish. And then there's the adventure of managing our official social media platform, HKUST +VibEs. What an exciting ride it's been! I'm thrilled to share that we've seen a remarkable 20% surge in online engagement and likes. It's not just about numbers; it's about creating a virtual space that feels warm and welcoming, where our community can connect and engage with what matters to them. These experiences have not only refined my organizational skills but have also shown me the power of fostering connections in professional settings and using social media as a tool to spread positivity and warmth. It's not just about managing events or online platforms; it's about creating an atmosphere where everyone feels a sense of belonging.
Intern, Waste Reduction & Recycling Group
Creating sets of VBA Macros was a game-changer for our team. I poured my efforts into streamlining automatised data extraction, witnessing an incredible reduction in task time. It wasn't just about efficiency; it was about crafting a smoother workflow that allowed us to focus on more meaningful aspects of our work. In the Annual Review of Recycling spot performance, I played a hands-on role, generating graphs and offering recommendations to our GO teams. This experience let me actively contribute to shaping our environmental initiatives. Also, leading a team of 9 and presenting 'The Environmental Efforts by Environmental Protection Department' was one of our proudest moment throughout the internship. It was more than just coordinating tasks; it was about fostering inclusion in our diverse team and showcasing collective impact by EPD. These experiences have not only honed my technical skills but also deepened my appreciation for teamwork, strategic initiatives, and the tangible impact we can achieve. It's not just about tasks; it's about actively contributing to a narrative of positive change.
Event Management & Marketing Assistant
Stepping into the role of managing a vibrant presentation hall with more than 50 sessions and a Cup competition was more than just a task for me – it was an opportunity to create an inclusive and welcoming space for both speakers and attendees. As I oversaw logistical details, from perfecting the lighting configuration to ensuring speakers felt supported, my aim was to cultivate an environment where everyone could share their insights comfortably. Producing a set of 100+ professional slides was about more than just showcasing profiles – it was a chance to visually welcome the speakers and paper presenters. Crafting each slide with care, I aimed to create a visual narrative that celebrated the diversity of expertise. These responsibilities went beyond the surface, involving a blend of technical expertise, creativity, and meticulous planning. It's not just about managing events; it's about creating an immersive and impactful experience for everyone involved.

Scholarships & Awards

Finalist in Joint University Eco-Business Innovation Award by Environmental Management and Technology Students' Society, HKUSTSU
It was a privilege to be named a finalist for the Joint University Eco-Business Innovation Award (eBIA). It was a demonstration of our dedication to sustainability and innovation, not merely an act of acknowledgment. It was an exciting assignment to pitch Le Meridien Cyberport a couple of ideas for enhancing its advertising approach and advocating sustainability in the hospitality sector, rooted in practicality and functionality.

Melo Experience

Reflecting on my time with Melo, Coldplay's lyrics echo in my mind: "I'd rather be a comma than a full stop." I am deeply grateful that numerous CEOs generously offer a splendid opportunity for the forthcoming generation, including fellows and students benefitted from our co-created programme. Just like a well-penned melody, this journey has provided the notes for personal growth, community harmony, and meaningful impact for social sustainability. The experience with Melo is not a period but a continuous melody, and I am thankful for the CEOs and the entire Melo community for being the composers of this enriching tune in our life.
