About

Having journeyed across five continents — from being born in Asia, studying in Australia, America, and Europe, to volunteering to save rhinos in Africa — I proudly consider myself a global citizen. These experiences have shaped me into an adaptable and collaborative individual. I thrive in multicultural environments and build strong, meaningful relationships with people from diverse backgrounds. Travel has helped me grow both personally and professionally, revealing values I might not have discovered otherwise. I deeply believe that who I am today is the result of the people I've met and learned from — which is why nurturing connections is at the heart of how I work and live. Professionally, each chapter of my career has played a key role in shaping my mindset and work ethic. At Deloitte Consulting in the U.S., I learned how to think strategically and navigate complex business problems with structure and rigor. My time at Shopee Vietnam taught me how to move fast, wear multiple hats, and deliver under pressure in a dynamic tech environment. At Shopee Express Brazil, I learned how to lead across cultures, work cross-functionally, and adapt in a completely new market and language. These roles not only refined my analytical and communication skills but also deepened my ability to collaborate with global teams and remain resilient in the face of ambiguity. Together, these experiences have grounded me in both adaptability and empathy — two traits that define how I approach challenges and contribute to any team I’m part of.
