“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” — Eleanor Roosevelt Greetings! I am Alicia Tung, a Year 3 Business Management student at SMU’s Lee Kong Chian School of Business, deeply committed to driving meaningful change and transforming challenges into strategic opportunities. With a keen analytical mindset and a passion for problem-solving, I thrive on bridging ambitious ideas with practical solutions that enhance organizational success. I believe true innovation lies in execution—taking decisive action, embracing resilience, and having the courage to challenge the status quo. My ability to think critically, adapt swiftly, and collaborate effectively allows me to excel in dynamic, fast-paced environments that demand creativity and strategic foresight. Grounded in a growth-oriented mindset, I actively seek opportunities for continuous learning and improvement. With extensive overseas experience, I bring a strong global perspective, excelling in cross-cultural communication, adaptability, and complex problem-solving. This international exposure enhances my ability to navigate diverse professional landscapes, making me a valuable asset to any team or organization. Beyond my academic and professional pursuits, I am deeply engaged in community service, particularly in initiatives that empower and educate children. I also have a strong appreciation for Chinese cultural history, music, and the arts, expressing my creativity through dance and film appreciation. Professional Objective: To drive impactful innovation and deliver strategic solutions in competitive environments, continuously striving for excellence and meaningful contributions.
Under SMU’s Global Innovation Immersion Programme, I undertook a fully funded internship at a startup in China, in partnership with Tsinghua University’s Yangtze Delta Region Research Institute, and supported by Enterprise Singapore and the Andy Chua & Family China Innovation Immersion Award. As an intern, I: - Conducted technological experiments and market research on cold chain logistics and export strategies (China → Singapore), contributing to the company’s international expansion roadmap. - Coordinated bilingual (English–Chinese) communication with overseas clients, drafting decks, proposals, and strategic correspondence for global stakeholders and competition applications. - Managed the CEO’s workflow through scheduling, briefing notes, and follow-up tracking to ensure timely and effective decision-making. - Produced and edited a corporate campaign video, saving the company ~RMB 8,000 in outsourced production costs while delivering professional-grade storytelling for overseas partners. - Gained firsthand agricultural and farming experience through fieldwork in bayberry cultivation and logistics, cultivating perseverance, adaptability, and an enduring work ethic. Once confined to domestic markets, China’s iconic bayberry embodied the challenge of turning agricultural excellence into global reach. Its perishability made long-distance export unsustainable — sea shipments dulled its sweetness, while air freight was costly and unsustainable. With strong national backing, we are the first in China to develop preservation technology that locks in the fruit’s freshness for up to 25 days, enabling it to cross borders in peak condition. This breakthrough not only advances sustainable agri-innovation, but also revitalizes Lishui’s rural economy(one of China’s lowest-GDP regions) by securing global demand and stable farmer incomes. Beyond commerce, it marks a paradigm shift where tech, sustainability, and social progress converge to redefine China’s agricultural future.
