What I'm looking for

I’m looking for analytical, cross-cultural work in finance or operations where clear thinking matters and I can execute independently—especially roles that value compliance discipline and practical, end-to-end ownership.

I’m a bilingual finance professional fluent in English and Mandarin, with a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from the University of Sydney. I built and ran a financial services business in Australia end to end—analyzing client financial positions, navigating regulatory compliance and AML requirements, and managing day-to-day operations with a strong focus on getting decisions right.

As a self-employed Co-Founder / Finance Broker, I matched clients to lenders based on credit policy and risk appetite, and structured financing for complex cases including trust structures, agricultural property, and high-value loans. I also built our acquisition funnel through bilingual content and social media, growing a combined 34,000+ following across RED, TikTok, and WeChat and converting it into real business—shaping my work around clear thinking, cross-cultural understanding, and independent execution.
