Summary

Experienced and self-motivated, I possess a strong background in management and exceptional interpersonal skills. Having majored in costume design and immersed myself in the Fashion & Media industries for over two decades, I have developed expertise in professional creative writing and visual communication across both print and digital media. I currently hold the position of Chief Editor at a prominent fashion magazine, overseeing content creation and managing a talented team.

Alongside my editorial work, my passion for aesthetics and wellness has led me to pursue studies in cosmetology. Through my studies, I have discovered the immense benefits of combining Chinese remedies with western treatments, enabling a comprehensive and harmonious approach to wellness. Leveraging my diverse background, industry knowledge, and unwavering passion, my aim is to establish a holistic wellness spa that provides a transformative experience for individuals, nurturing both their outer beauty and inner well-being.
