For 3 years, I was a Chinese Journalist from Singapore Press Holdings who worked alongside various government ministries to produce quality content for readers.

I cover breaking news and the local beat, including Politics, Healthcare, Education, Manpower, Housing, SME, Finance and Tech news etc.

This job has greatly developed my communications and analytical skills, and unleashed my bilingual capability.

The ability to comprehend and write well in both languages has also given me a competitive edge amongst my peers.

With my bilingual proficiency, I hope to contribute positively to society.

Since 2016, I have crafted numerous bilingual speeches, written articles and reports,

worked on bilingual publications and programme booklets.
