About

Hello, and welcome to my page! I’m a business analytics professional with 3+ years of experience in the accounting and finance industries. Before diving into my career, let me share a bit about myself. Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about sports and entertainment. My love for sports began with basketball and badminton at age nine, and more recently, I’ve taken up surfing, snowboarding, tennis, and golf. For me, the magic of sports lies in how it brings people together—whether it’s through teamwork or friendly competition.

My passion for data analysis was sparked during my time as an Accounting Analyst at Macdonald CPA. One memorable project involved analyzing client engagement strategies by evaluating the time spent on different client types and correlating it with sales data. This analysis helped us pinpoint our ideal customer group, leading to more efficient operations and better results. That experience fueled my decision to pursue a master’s in Business Analytics at USC Marshall, where I’m honing my skills to drive strategic insights.

Now, I’m excited to bring my love for analytics into the sports and entertainment industries. I’m always open to connecting and learning from others—so feel free to reach out! #FightOn

My Favourite Quote

"Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish"

  • Leadership Philosophy: Leading by example
  • Solution Design: Simplicity over Complexity
  • Life Mentor & Idol: Kobe Bryant

Before I got into USC Marshall School of Business, I didn't have much team experience and was unsure what role should I take in a team. I am grateful to have so many group projects, teamwork opportunities, and case competitions at USC. I have been able to try various roles within a team and am more comfortable working with different people to become a better team player. As time went by, I started taking on more leadership roles with my growing confidence, shouldering more responsibilities, and leading teams to success. Some major achievements are: one of the top 5 groups out of 50+ to be selected as having the best presentation in my DSO 530 class, 2 full credit projects in DSO 574 class. Now, I am comfortable saying: I am an exceptional team player and I know how to make teams better!
