I’m currently studying English Language with Media Communications at the University of Essex, with a strong interest in storytelling, media, and how people connect through communication. My academic journey has taken me from Malaysia to the U.S. and now the UK, which has given me a global outlook and helped shape how I engage with different people and perspectives.

Outside of class, I love being involved in student life. I’m the Social Secretary for our university’s American Football team, where I plan events and keep the team connected off the field. I’m also active in the European Law Society Association (ELSA), taking part in debates and discussions on real-world issues like child rights and gender equality—sometimes even collaborating with organizations like UNICEF. In high school, I balanced academics with playing football and being part of the school band, which taught me a lot about discipline, teamwork, and time management.

On the professional side, I recently worked as a Media Intern at Unitas Global Advisory, where I drafted op-eds for companies and wrote articles on industry insights and trends. This experience helped me sharpen my writing skills, adapt content for different audiences, and understand the role of strategic communication in brand positioning. Alongside this, I’ve also taken on roles in retail and catering—at 7-Eleven, JP’s Kitchen, and Pizza U—which helped me become adaptable, confident, and great at communicating under pressure.

I’m now looking to bring all these experiences into a creative, people-focused role in communications where I can keep learning and growing.

During my summer internship at Unitas Global Advisory, I gained hands-on experience in professional writing and media communications. I contributed by drafting op-eds for companies, helping them articulate their perspectives and strengthen their public voice, as well as writing articles that highlighted key industry insights and trends. This role allowed me to refine my writing for different audiences and develop a stronger understanding of how strategic communication supports brand positioning and thought leadership.
