My passion
Is to help as many people as I can by sharing my own skills and experiences. There is definitely still a long way to go but I have always considered myself a very lucky person and I hope that I can share this with those that may not be as lucky as me. This is also the main reason why I wanted to be an alumni ambassador here in Hong Kong.
Keep your curiosity
The most interesting aspect of my career is getting the chance to meet with great people, either internally or externally, which is something that I really enjoy. Being a Relationship Manager (RM) means that I have the freedom and autonomy that most other jobs don't offer.
If you want to be a RM, I guess the most important thing is for you to be genuinely interested in things that happen in the world. Keep your curiosity.
UWA helped shape me into who I am today
UWA has always been a special place to me especially after graduating a couple of years ago. It is a place where I got the chance to meet great people, be it lecturers, or friends who shaped me into who I really am today. People I met along the way at UWA were truly nice considering, as an international student, I could be counted as an 'outsider'. Still, people I met at UWA accepted me for who I am and truly embraced the differences that we might have.
How has your UWA degree helped you in the work you do now?
The first thing I would say is the knowledge that I gained during my years at UWA. All lecturers and tutors were so helpful and so willing to share their own experiences with the students; knowledge that often extended beyond what could be found in a textbook. The second thing is the people that I met along the way which have helped build up my networks and connections even after I left Perth and headed back to my hometown Hong Kong.
