About

As an education entrepreneur passionate about unlocking students' full potential, I founded the award-winning Britannia StudyLink in 2013 to revolutionize Hong Kong's UK school placement market. What began as a mission to break the stagnant oligopoly has grown into a market leader, connecting families across Asia with world-class British education through offices in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Shenzhen, Shanghai, London, Bangkok, and Tokyo. Today, I am proud to serve as the CEO of Nauticus Education Group, where we aim to bring access to top-tier education to Asia and the Middle East. Alongside Nauticus, I continue to lead Britannia, which remains a cornerstone of my work. Admission consulting is not just a profession for me—it’s a passion. Studying abroad was one of the most transformative and enjoyable periods of my life, and I am deeply committed to helping families provide their children with similar life-changing experiences. With the addition of True North Education to our portfolio, we are now able to offer even more comprehensive services, combining admission consulting expertise with Nauticus’s broader platform to serve families seeking UK education, residential investments, and beyond. Our journey has been recognized by organizations like the Hong Kong Brand Development Council, British Council, and Forbes. Around one in three Hong Kong students studying in the UK comes through Britannia, and our influence continues to expand. Together with my incredible team, mentors, and partners, I am excited to keep driving innovation and opportunity in the education space across Asia and beyond.
