Books, indie music in the background, and a cup of matcha by my side—that’s my idea of a perfect cosy day.

 I came to Melbourne back in 2019 to pursue my bachelor’s degree in biotechnology at the University of Melbourne. During the second year of my bachelor's degree, one of my electives explored the business side of biotech and pharmaceutical companies. Learning about how businesses operate from a financial perspective really sparked my interest and led me to pursue my master's degree in accounting at the same university. I joined Gunderson Briggs in December 2024 after completing my master’s degree to build my professional career as an accountant. 

 In my spare time, I enjoy casual gaming, reading books, watching movies, and experimenting with new baking and cooking recipes I found online. I’m a tea lover–matcha being my go-to drink when I’m reading or gaming. On sunny days, you’ll often find me wandering through Dymocks or Kinokuniya for new books and discovering new cafés along the way.
