About me

As a second-generation Chinese-Indonesian immigrant, I’ve always been inspired by those who bridge cultures and build connections across borders. Growing up in Australia, I love seeing how Asian cultures are not just appreciated but deeply woven into our communities, shaping the way we live, work, and do business. This has fueled my passion for strengthening Australia-Asia business ties, using cultural insights to drive innovation and create meaningful impact. I’m currently studying a Bachelor of Commerce and Advanced Studies (Marketing & Finance) at the University of Sydney, where I’m constantly exploring how businesses can adapt in an increasingly globalized world. Beyond academics, I thrive on stepping outside my comfort zone—whether that’s studying in Korea, Singapore, and soon China, or leading new initiatives to create positive change in my communities. In my free time, I find joy in discovering new places, from traveling with my family to uncovering hidden food gems with friends.
"The Westpac Scholarship is an incredible opportunity to immerse myself in Asia’s dynamic markets, broaden my global perspective, and develop the leadership skills needed to drive meaningful impact."
