About

I am currently in my second year of pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce, majoring in Information Systems and Marketing, at the University of Auckland. My academic journey has equipped me with a strong foundation in both the technical aspects of information systems and the strategic elements of marketing.

Beyond my studies, I have gained over two and a half years of valuable experience as a Checkout Operator. This role has honed my skills in customer service, communication, and teamwork, allowing me to effectively interact with individuals from diverse backgrounds and provide exceptional service in a fast-paced environment.

In addition to my professional experience, I am an executive member of the Rainbow Business Club at the University of Auckland. As the Digital Lead, I am responsible for leading the club's marketing efforts, including managing all social media platforms. This position has further developed my skills in digital marketing and content creation, enabling me to drive engagement in club activities.

I'm interested in exploring how business and technology intersect, particularly in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.
