I joined Crypto Block as an intern last November. The internship was arranged by HKU’s MBA Career Services team. At Crypto Block, I was given the opportunity to explore different projects related to FinTech. Though I had a great interest in the fast growing and new generation industry, I found it hard to understand the technical areas during my internship. I took the elective course in FinTech after my completion of internship at Crypto Block, where I managed to gain a deeper understanding of the technical concepts. This helped me with the projects I managed in my internship at Crypto Block.

After deciding FinTech was not my desired industry, I managed to find another internship opportunity at a luxury good company and multinational corporation, Kering. Here, I worked as a Finance Transformation Intern where I managed multiple tasks, such as implementing processes & system transformations across 15 countries, conducting reports, performing risk analysis and conducting interviews with SSCs on process understanding. This internship enhanced my skills and knowledge in processing areas such as SAP Blackline and Power BI. It also gave me valuable insight in working at a MNC in Hong Kong. Last but not least, it developed my interest in working for a global luxury group.
