I got my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Binus University, Jakarta and after that I spent most of my working experience in an agribusiness company in Jakarta. I challenged myself by working as an IT trainer specialising in SAP programmes, a job which I had never considered before. Being an IT trainer gave me  broader experience and social skills because I had to travel a lot to different places and give training to different kinds of people, I learnt a lot about communication and how to connect with various sorts of people since  Indonesia is a very multicultural and multiethnic country.

Several years working in the same field made me want to challenge myself more and the eagerness to develop myself as an individual brought me to a decision to pursue an MBA degree. It was a degree which I knew would be very challenging for me as I had never been exposed to this particular field before. I chose Hong Kong as my MBA degree destination because my goal is to learn more specifically about Asia’s business and Hong Kong is a central point for doing business in the Asia region. It also has within it a multinational culture which made it a perfect choice for me to reach my goal.

Choosing HKU so far was the best choice I ever made. Being accepted in such a reputable university whose MBA programme has been rated best in Asia for 9 consecutive years, and one of the best in the world, has been a life changing experience for me. There have been so many nourishing and fruitful experiences inside and outside the classroom. Our MBA class consists of   professionals from many nations  and we can exchange our thoughts and change our minds in the engaging class discussions and conversations outside class. I truly believe that this will be a life-long, unforgettable experience.
