About

In the early years of my career, much of my accumulated experience was gained operating hotels across China in major cities, covering Beijing, Guangdong & Shandong. From front office operations at Kande & Sofitel hotels, to quality assurance control at HNA & Hilton Group hotels. My current role as an early childhood educator marked another transition for me, including moving to Hong Kong and my recent experience working as a NET at the pre-school/kindergarten and education center.
