About Me
I am a goal-oriented, achievement-driven and positive person. Born and raised in China, I moved to Australia after the completion of high school. With working experience in China and Australia, I went to Switzerland for exchange, where I completed a consultancy-like business project while regularly providing consultancy services for pro bono enterprise at the meantime. I would like to devote myself into career development and bring in the knowledge and expertise learnt to make new achievements.
