“Although I am more introverted, coming to SMU has honed me to become a more confident speaker with critical thinking skills. There is also a lot of liberty given to students to plan their own university journey and choose what modules they want to take and at what time.”

Please share a highlight of your student life at SMU.

Being part of ASoc Camp 2021 Organising Committee has allowed me to build friendships with many people in the School of Accountancy that normal classes cannot offer. I am also thankful for all the mentorship programmes (e.g. ASoc Mentoring Scheme, Peer Tutor Scheme) that helped me assimilate into university life and also get resources, materials and help.

Please share your internship experience.

I have done an internship with DFS as a Global Tax Intern, which has equipped me with soft and professional skills. I believe it has also helped me identify my future possible career paths and served as a place for me to make mistakes and grow from it.
