About

I didn't start my career in a classroom, I started it building a business. At 16, I co-founded AiSun Solar Trading Inc. in the Philippines, a B2B solar energy distribution company that grew to handle PHP 2M+ in annual product throughput. Managing procurement, negotiating with vendors, and closing proposals for 15+ business clients taught me more about commercial reality than any case study could.Now I'm a 1st year at HKUST pursuing a BBA, aiming to deepen my understanding of how businesses scale, operate, and make strategic decisions in complex, real-world environments.What I bring to the table:→ Hands-on experience running a multi-supplier B2B operation from the ground up→ Budget management and data-driven decision making→ Cross-cultural communication across Southeast Asia and Greater China→ Fluent in English, Tagalog, and Hokkien — conversational Mandarin
