Native to China, I studied abroad in the US where I started my career in Pharmeutical post-graduation in Quality Control. I decided to pursue my MBA to change functions within the biotech industry from science to business aspects and decided on Hong Kong as the location as it’s close enough to my hometown.
Throughout my MBA journey, I have been mentored by the Vice President and General Manager of Asia 5, a Multi-National Corporation Pharmaceutical company who helped me land my current internship at a leading Asian pharmaceutical distributor, DCH Auriga.
Coming from a pure technology background, I was never exposed to business related responsibilities. Pursuing an MBA has given me the opportunity to adapt the knowledge and skills I have gained to my internship allowing me to experience first-hand strategic thinking, project management, communication and presentation soft skills.
My internship experience allowed me to understand the importance of soft skills within a business environment and although I enjoyed my journey with a Hong Kong based company, I have a deeper understanding of my career ambition to work for a multinational pharmaceutical corporation.
