I am a versatile professional with a multicultural background, shaped by studies in English and Chinese and several years of international experience. I lived in Shanghai as part of my university program, an experience that strengthened both my language skills and my ability to adapt to fast-paced, cross-cultural environments. I later spent time in London, further developing my communication skills and openness to diverse working styles, and I recently completed a Working Holiday Visa in Seoul, where I deepened my interest in creative industries and global culture. My career spans office management, recruitment, production, event coordination, and artistic work as a photographer and retoucher. I have worked in music, fashion, creative agencies, and customer-facing environments, developing strong organizational abilities, a high sense of discretion, and the capacity to support executives, teams, and artists with efficiency and creativity. This combination of administrative expertise and artistic experience allows me to navigate both structured corporate settings and dynamic creative contexts with ease.
