Property Sales Consultant 

YouTube

I started my YouTube channel in 2012 and I became more serious with my work in September 2014. From the start of 2020, I introduced a new format of my content, with a multilingual greeting for all my videos as an approach to connect with more viewers from all around the world. Also, I become a lot more confident and comfortable in front of the camera now compared to the 15-year-old me back in 2014. I look forward to more collaborations with other fellow content creators globally.
SInce I am running this channel alone, I have acquired the necessary skills for PR, filming, editing and marketing throughout the experience. I am able to secure story coverage through "cold-calling" other parties.

Marketing Intern

alinea consulting LLP

A 1-day visit to One Bishopsgate Plaza at 140-150 Bishopsgate, a 320-million, mixed-use development project by LendLease with 237 hotel rooms and 160 residential units near Liverpool Street Station. It was a good opportunity to develop my health & safety knowledge and awareness at construction sites, with a first-person look at large scale project, understanding the group dynamics within the construction and
consulting team at Alinea and LendLease. I also had some civilised discussions with employees about building materials for skyscrapers and the industry’s future.

Site visit with Alinea and LendLease 

Determined, passionate and multi-cultural. These are the 3 traits that set me apart from the rest. My strive for continuous self-development will get me where I want to be in life.

My ultimate life goal is to become a successful commercial surveyor with international outreach and my very own TV or online show about my passion for properties and cars. 

This dream of mine keeps me energised and working hard every day.
