Personal Profile
I am a Business Management student at the University of Sheffield, currently on a placement year with an aerospace-focused marketing agency. I am developing hands-on experience in a dynamic, professional setting. Alongside my placement, I am independently leading a video project and branding campaigns for two other projects. Fluent in both English and Mandarin, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work. Through my involvement in 5+ societies and extracurricular activities, I have gained experiences in graphic design, website development, and video editing skills which I consistently apply to both professional and personal projects.
