About

I am currently pursuing ICAEW at Sunway College KL, with a strong interest in Audit & Assurance, business, and how numbers tell the story behind decisions. My interest in business was shaped by watching my father build his path as a businessman. That experience sparked my curiosity to understand how businesses work beneath the surface, from financial performance to strategy, sustainability, and professional judgment. As a Sunway-ICAEW Global Accountant Scholarship recipient with a current WAM of 80%, I am learning to grow with discipline, curiosity, and consistency. I also achieved 90% in Sustainability, which deepened my interest in how businesses create long-term value beyond profits. Outside the classroom, I tutor IGCSE students in Science, Mathematics, and Accounting, helping them build confidence and achieve high distinction scores. I have also participated in the Sunway Group Pitching Competition and Deloitte Auditing Business Challenge 2025, gaining exposure to teamwork, business analysis, audit scenarios, and presentation under pressure. Beyond academics, I serve as a church campus leader, where I plan, host, coordinate volunteers, manage people, and support outreach initiatives. I would describe myself as people-oriented, teachable, disciplined with time, and always willing to improve. Currently open to Audit & Assurance internship opportunities, especially where I can learn, contribute, and grow under experienced professionals. Always happy to connect with professionals, seniors, and fellow students in audit, accounting, business, and professional development. ๐Ÿ˜
