Current – Working in a Japanese company 
 
In the beginning, I wanted to get a certificate in order to find a job. During my study in Diploma Yi Jin and Higher Diploma at HKCT, I joined various professional activities organized by the College, and I got an award in public writing competition. It aroused my interest in Japanese language and culture, and built my confidence in using Japanese in different occasions. Now, I am working in a Japanese company. I am happy to apply what I have learnt in my career.
