About

Hi there!


With nearly a decade of experience in content marketing, I specialise in creating user-centric materials from concept to final product. I have a proven track record in developing impactful B2B marketing assets and localized content that enhances audience engagement. As a highly skilled marketing professional with extensive experience in the APAC region, I excel in crafting compelling through-funnel assets and optimising them for maximum engagement. I am adept at collaborating with global cross-functional teams and external partners to amplify brand reach, as well as to drive demand and lead generation. Fluent in English, Mandarin Chinese, and Korean, I bring multi-lingual proficiency and a nuanced understanding of diverse markets to my work.

My passion for innovation led me to build a chatbot that resolved 30% of customer inquiries at my previous company, sparking my interest in coding and web development. I created this portfolio website which showcases my self-starter approach and novice web design skills. Beyond my professional work, I have a strong passion for content creation. I have a growing home account on Instagram where I've grown a small community and worked a couple of local brands to date.

Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I look forward to exploring opportunities to create engaging and impactful content together.
