Biodata

I hope to pursue a career path in the financial and analytical sector. The relevant and holistic courses that I have taken in NUS have enhanced my analytical skills. Most importantly, I have learnt the essential statistical computer software in the current business world. Furthermore, my short stint as an intern in Citibusiness has given me a boost in confidence to deal with data statistics. My other interests are in reading economics books and practising new statistical software to further enhance my knowledge in this forte.

Meanwhile, I’m also proficient in speaking and writing both English and mandarin. In addition, my officer background with the youth organization, National Police Cadet Corps (NPCC), has inculcated leadership and motivational qualities that would be useful in my prospective career. Currently, I am also serving as an adult volunteer with the Singapore Red Cross Society. I firmly believe in contributing to the society and helping others in whatever way I can. Finally, I hope to see myself successful in the financial analyst field in the next 10 to 15 years time.

Reflecting on the Research Project Experience

After four weeks of rigorous discussions and hard work put in this research survey project, I have taken away with me much more than I had expected. This has been a positive and enriching learning experience to a great extent. Though it has just been a short span of time, Danny, Sharon and I have cooperated amicably, with little flaws or communication barriers. We arranged for meetings without encountering miscommunication problems outside regular class. Together, we have managed to brainstorm for various research topics, discuss and finalize the research topic, prepare the agenda and minutes, divide the work for survey collection and analysis efficiently. In addition, I feel that we have built cordial interpersonal relationships and deeper understanding among us during the multiple discussions. All these factors contributed to the efficient work rate and accelerated progress for the research project. The rotation around the roles of either the leader or the team players among us greatly facilitated both processes of doing the research and the churning out of the report. The teamwork is superb as they never failed to provide help and solutions whenever I met with any problems or required feedbacks.

Most of our ideas and thoughts were transmitted through electronic-mails and we cultivated the habit of reading through each other’s drafts. We would also make appropriate amendments if the need arose. After the rapport built thus far, I believe that we can attempt to extend this cordial interpersonal communication skills and understanding to the preparation of the oral presentation segment. Perhaps one aspect of communication which I feel that our group can improve on is the verbal communication section. Occasionally, we tend to be rather reserved in our expressions. I feel that this is an area which needs to be improved, especially for the oral presentation section. Meanwhile, we ought to relax and be more open towards one another to gear up for the preparation for the next team project, whereby verbal communication plays an important role in the delivery of a good presentation. Overall, I’m extremely pleased with the great working relationship with both Danny and Sharon. I have utmost faith and belief that we will complete the team oral presentation project with the best team effort.
