Born and raised in the vibrant city of Hong Kong, I am a trilingual individual (she/her) fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin. I completed my Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) at the esteemed Sacred Heart Canossian College in 2016, where I laid a strong foundation for my future endeavours.
The true adventure began when I made the bold decision to move to Brisbane, Australia, in 2017. Despite the bittersweet goodbyes to my beloved family and friends, I embarked on an expat journey filled with excitement. During my time at the University of Queensland, pursuing a Bachelor of Journalism, I honed my skills and embraced fresh experiences that have shaped me into the person I am today.
Seeking new horizons, I found myself captivated by Melbourne’s diverse cultures, lively city life, and incredible food scene. In 2020, I embarked on postgraduate studies at the prestigious University of Melbourne. Little did I know that the next two years would be fraught with unexpected twists and turns due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Enduring lockdowns and virtual learning pushed me to develop resilience. I persevered and adapted to the challenges, honing my marketing communications skills with unwavering support, guidance, and mentorship from my professors, tutors, and classmates. Despite the hurdles, I triumphed, and one of the proudest moments in this chapter was presenting the final pitch to Foodbank Victoria, where our team received the Runner-Up Award from the client and the People’s Choice Award voted by my peers.
Reflecting on my journey, from relocating to Melbourne alone just before the pandemic hit to graduating from “Zoom University” with academic excellence, I can genuinely say it has been a transformative learning curve.
Currently serving as the Marketing and Client Services Coordinator at MegaMode, an award-winning fitness studio in Melbourne CBD, I apply my knowledge in practice and bring a wealth of expertise and a track record of success to my role. MegaMode has been an excellent workplace where I collaborate closely with Kylie Archer, the founder and co-owner of MegaMode, to gain invaluable hands-on experience in marketing, social media, content creation, and customer relationship management.
As I aspire for professional growth opportunities, I am seeking a new role that further develops my skills, challenges me to think creatively, and allows me to make a significant impact within the marketing industry. With my passion in this field, I wholeheartedly embrace the future that lies ahead.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a multifaceted individual with a passion for a variety of interests and hobbies.
When I’m not immersed in marketing, you’ll find me working up a sweat on the Megaformer, raising my voice in a choir, exploring new destinations, or savouring a cup of oat flat white while delving into a good book at a local coffee shop. Falling in love with the Lagree method and all things fitness, I became a certified Level 1 Lagree trainer in 2023.
Additionally, I document my culinary adventures and curate visual content, such as Instagram reels, TikTok and photographs, for my food and lifestyle blog @janisluvstoeat. I occasionally collaborate with restaurants, food brands, event organisers, and influencer marketing agencies, creating social media content that promotes their products on my platforms.
You might also spot me on the badminton court or capturing fleeting moments with my camera on the street. I also have a deep appreciation for art museums, cinema, classical music, and fitness.
