Hospitality student. Marketer. Storyteller.
Currently studying in Lausanne, Switzerland
I'm from Australia, also Canadian, and proudly half Malaysian Chinese. I grew up in Dubai before finishing high school on Australia's Gold Coast — a mix of cultures and places that has shaped the way I see the world.

I have a creative mind and a passion for photography, aesthetics and content creation, paired with a love of travel. I love noticing the little details that make a place special and capturing them through my lens.
My family is deeply embedded in the aviation industry, which is where my passion for hospitality and curiosity about the world began. That connection continues to inspire my love of discovering new places, meeting people and creating thoughtful experiences.

As I reflect on my internship at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai, I’m filled with gratitude for an incredible experience.
Working with the Front Office team taught me so much about luxury hospitality, service excellence, and the power of genuine connection. I’m especially thankful to the amazing mentors and colleagues who supported me every step of the way.
Excited to carry these lessons forward as I continue my journey in the hospitality world!
A reflection on my time at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai
At EHL Hospitality Business School in Lausanne, I'm learning to connect thoughtful hospitality with business, technology and creativity — both in the classroom and beyond it.
Expected graduation: June 2028
My AP year brought hospitality to life: practical kitchen workshops, service training and plenty of teamwork. These are a few moments from the hands-on side of my EHL journey.
BSc in International Hospitality Management
Building on that practical foundation, my BOSC studies are helping me understand the business behind great hospitality — from spreadsheets and computational thinking to communication, marketing and service design.

For my Customer Information and Distribution Channel Management project, I created a vibecoded demo website for a personal-styling service. It brings together two sides: a client app for discovering and connecting with stylists, and a stylist workspace for managing clients, calendars and creative work.
I'm currently seeking a 24-week full-time internship starting February 2027 in a creative role, such as marketing, social media, content creation, or brand communications. I'm especially drawn to luxury hospitality, fashion, and lifestyle brands, where I can bring fresh ideas, tell meaningful stories, and help create experiences people remember. I'm open to relocating internationally and excited to learn from a team that values creativity and attention to detail.
