I enjoy solving complex problems creatively by combining the principles learned throughout my engineering postgrad degree, my technical capabilities in big data & analytics, and a commercial mindset developed through my management consulting work experience. I am a driven individual who can work under pressure and manage myself.
After working in management consulting and data & analytics for over two years, I chose to pursue a postgraduate MSc degree. I have expanded my research, critical thinking and academic writing capabilities, motivated by a desire to challenge myself and develop continuously.
