Summary

With strong passion about the global art business, I pursued my undergraduate in one of the leading universities in the United Kingdom. This learning experience enhanced my knowledge about art and equipped myself to research skills. In order to create better visitors’ experience with exhibits, I furthered my education with a master programme at SOAS University, London. This programme provides a precious opportunity to curate an exhibition with individuals from diverse backgrounds and understand how cultural exchanges fostered the visual culture today. Aside from classroom learning , I have also volunteered at the William Morris Gallery, a community museum in London to answer customer inquiries and gathering feedback on exhibits. I believe my education background and current working experiences as event assistant in Hong Kong equipped myself to be a qualified candidate for your company.
