Description

Hello everyone! Thanks for dropping by here :)

Growing up with two languages, I've always been curious about different ways of life and the world around us. Living and studying in various places globally has made me feel a strong connection to different cultures and environments. This sense of connection brings me joy, gratitude, and a desire to explore more.

I love everything about travel, healthy living, food, and meeting new people. Understanding and helping others, along with caring for our environment, are things that make me happy. Right now, I'm looking to start a career in sustainable luxury hotels. I want to learn and contribute to making a positive impact. Joining this field feels like the next exciting adventure for me!

More details about my language interests
Growing up bilingual, I have a passion for exploring different cultures and ways of life. Learning a language brings you closer to understanding others, and I once studied Spanish for a little while. I'm eager to become fluent in it someday! I would love to live abroad again, preferably in a Spanish-speaking country.

More details about your skills

I currently work at Lumi.Network, a global ed-tech sustainability start-up in London as a Senior Associate. Product and Partnerships Delivery. I help young people develop future skills by creating tech solutions for global issues. In my role, I manage customer relationships, develop and deliver customised programmes aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and attend networking events to find new opportunities. Moreover, I facilitate problem-solving sessions, managed strategic alliances, and contributed to product design and customer processes.

I also lived lived and worked in Hong Kong for a couple years. I worked at GREEN Hospitality, a not-for-profit platform that connects all hospitality-related stakeholders and collaborates to enable sustainability initiatives & solutions, and at Food Made Good Hong Kong, a food sustainability consultancy.

At GREEN Hospitality, I worked as a Junior Event Manager organising "The GREEN Conference 2022 - Hospitality Agenda 2030" and supporting sustainability initiatives. Additionally, at Food Made Good Hong Kong I worked as a Team Leader Support & Business Development intern. I coordinated and supported with consultancy workshops, improved sustainability reports, and assisted with PR and media for F&B Awards Ceremonies and many more.

I have also completed two courses: one in Sustainable Hospitality & Tourism from the International Society of Sustainability Professionals and second in Business Sustainability Management from the University of Cambridge. For the first course, we examined sustainable operations, food and beverage, sales, marketing and eco-certifications. The second course, we conducted many research projects, including one on a luxury hospitality group focusing on business transformation and new business plan development.

My expertise includes a F&B and Hospitality knowledge, writing, operations, programme delivery, teaching, problem-solving, and collaborative work. I'm eager to explore eco-retreats, eco-lodges, and sustainable living. I'm open to try new things and excited to contribute to sustainable practices!

What else ...

Apart from traveling, gardening, enjoying food, and meeting people, my hobbies and interests involve watching podcasts about health and personal development, listening to music, photography, hiking, swimming (especially in the sea), staying fit, and indulging in films and TV series (which I sometimes get too addicted to)!

I love playing card games too :)
