Summary

Graduate Student | Master of Management (Accounting & Finance) - University of Melbourne

I am a motivated graduate student with hands-on experience in audit, corporate taxation, and financial services, eager to explore opportunities in risk advisory, compliance services, taxation, and finance. During my internship at Ernst & Young, I contributed to financial audits, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and delivering key insights into client financial performance. At KPMG, I assisted in tax computations, corporate tax filings, and the preparation of critical documents, enhancing accuracy and streamlining workflows. Additionally, I supported a property tech initiative at Popety, a start-up integrating digital solutions with property management, where I helped improve processes and stakeholder engagement.

Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a former dragon boat rower with multiple competition accolades, showcasing teamwork, discipline, and commitment. Actively involved in the Potong Pasir community during my school years, I participated in various initiatives such as assisting the elderly, organizing neighborhood clean-ups, and contributing to donation drives, reflecting my strong interpersonal and organizational skills.
