Robogals Melbourne

Workshop Demonstrator

I am a highly motivated and dedicated individual who is passionate about IT Consulting, Data Analysis, and Software Design & Development. I am always amazed at the power of technology blending into our daily life. My curiosity leads me to continuously work hard and develop professionally in this field.

I am currently studying a Master of Information Technology at the University of Melbourne. I have been acquiring valuable skills in Software Development, ICT Project Management, Artificial Intelligence, Database Management, Machine Learning, Network Security and Data Analysis. To practice and strengthen skills at hand, I have worked as a data analyst, completed several IT projects at university and participated in case competitions held by the industry.

Besides my IT expertise, I am a former Bachelor of Commerce graduate, focusing on Accounting & Finance. I have professionally worked for 2+ years in accounting, financial, and utility industries. These experiences solidified my capability in client relationship management, business analysis, leadership, teamwork, and effective communication.

I am keen to bring the power of technology to business development. I strongly believe that technology shines at its brightest when it perfectly meets unique business needs. I am willing to keep building on my skill sets to realize my belief.

I am a 'stay out of comfort zone' person who always embraces diversity and challenges. I enjoy exploring various opportunities to enrich my life experiences and discovering my own potentials to see a better self. Also, I am a people person and a strong believer in communication. I love talking with different people from who I always learn something from them. Good friendships also come from these inspiring conversations. Also, I believe in the charm of music and love playing the piano and guitar in my spare time. 

Another big dedication in my life is volunteering. I am a student ambassador at Melbourne School of Engineering, mentor at AskAlumni at the University of Melbourne, a fundraiser officer at Friend of Same and a workshop demonstrator at the club called Robogals. Contributing back to the community creates a sense of belonging and provides me a bonus of building friendships.

I always follow my principle of 'trying without fear and working with a dedication'. I am always ready to embrace fun and creative challenges!
