Summary

I was born in China and have lived in Hong Kong for seven years. I am fluent in Cantonese, Mandarin, and English, which allows me to support people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I bring over 16 years of retail experience, complemented by strong communication and problem-solving skills. I currently work at Claro in a Specialist Disability Accommodation home, supporting clients with daily needs and wellbeing. I've completed a Certificate IV in Mental Health and am now studying the Diploma of Mental Health at TAFE Gippsland. I'm passionate about recovery-oriented care, and I’m eager to apply skills and experience to support clients in their mental health and AOD recovery journey.
