What I'm looking for

I seek roles in spatial planning or urban policy where I can apply research skills, evidence-based analysis, community engagement, and contribute to impactful planning projects.

I am a spatial planning professional completing an MSc in Spatial Planning (RTPI Accreditation) at University College London, with a BA (Hons) in Government and Public Administration from The Chinese University of Hong Kong.

As a research assistant at The Education University of Hong Kong, I led a team of four to collect and code 10,000 news items for content analysis, drafted research proposals, conducted in-depth interviews, and advised students on community-related projects and capstones.

During a summer internship at KTA Planning Limited, I examined statutory planning procedures, converted qualitative findings into numerical data for trend analysis over ten years, drafted policy-focused research reports, and participated in fieldwork for trail planning.

I bring strong bilingual communication skills in Cantonese/Putonghua and English, experience with Adobe Illustrator and InDesign, and practical experience coordinating teams and managing editorial social media presence.
