Lindsey Chen BSc Computational Finance 2023

I joined HSBC Global Markets not long after graduation. Many thanks for the support and endless encouragement provided by all those who have lifted my spirits and stood by me during my college years, especially during tough times. This is the stage where I acquired the foundations from school while also staying focus on building skills, from problem-solving in practice through internships at various companies. The industry exposure from these earlier work experiences was incredibly useful in helping me find the connection between theories and practice. CB's curriculum and platforms also provide support and resources for students to explore and to flourish. When I finally had to enter a different stage of life, I was grateful for having had so many good people around me, be it at work or in school, who told me we could work out a solution together and who helped me see why I should be confident in myself.

Dr David Ng EMBA 2023

I graduated from the EMBA programme in 2023 and am currently the CEO & CTO, High Tech Technology Limited and an Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering of The University of Hong Kong. The EMBA programme at CityU has been an incredible journey. As someone with a PhD in engineering, the EMBA programme has helped me grasp business concepts, apply them to my daily work and even transform my technological ideas into a start-up. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from some of the best and brightest minds in business and academia. In addition to the knowledge and skills I have gained, the programme has provided me with valuable friendships and networks. The diverse profiles of classmates and professors are great, allowing me to learn from different perspectives and cultures. Overall, the CityU EMBA programme has been an incredible experience. I hope I will be able to contribute my knowledge and skills to the community, especially for serving the youth. My sincere thanks to the CityU EMBA programme for providing me with this incredible learning journey.

Ken Mak BBA Business Economics 2022

I have been working in a bank since graduating from CityU. I am glad to share that I just passed the CFA Level 1 Exam held in November 2023 on my first attempt. It is wonderful when effort pays off. I wish all the graduates the best in their endeavours.

Stella Lin MBA 2020

Dear teachers and classmates from HK City University, hello everyone! I am Yan Lin, Stella. In 2023, I have done several happy things, such as working in the legal/financial industry, making many new friends and forming deep friendships with them. We travel together, perform together, appreciate art together, and read together. Every day I feel fulfilled and happy. In 2024, I plan to continue my career in Hong Kong/Fujian, pursuing life achievements and enjoying happiness!

Thomas Lam BBA Accountancy 2020

After completing my degree in the Department of Accountancy, I embarked on an exciting journey in the financial sector, starting with a role in the front office of UBS Private Bank and later transitioning to JP Morgan Private Bank. It was an incredible honour to work at these esteemed institutions, known for their exceptional reputation and global presence. During my 3 years in the banking industry, I gained valuable experience and developed a strong foundation in finance and business. However, I felt a deep calling to pursue a career in the legal field, driven by my passion for justice and the desire to make a meaningful impact in peoples' lives. Currently, I am pursuing a Juris Doctor degree at CUHK, fully committed to expanding my knowledge of the law and preparing myself for a future as a barrister. The legal profession presents a unique opportunity to advocate for others and contribute to a just society, and I am eager to embrace this new chapter in my professional journey. I firmly believe that following our dreams is essential to personal fulfilment and success. Wishing each and every one of you the in your own pursuit of dreams.

Terry Wang MSc Operations and Supply Chain Management 2015

My little baby was born 3 months ago. We've been feeling excited, hopeful, tired, and anxious after his birth, with life stepping into uncharted territory. He will grow up and we will age, but I hope we could share a journey full of laughter and joy. This family photo full of smiles and relaxation was shot in hospital, and at that time my innocent baby didn't realise the upcoming vaccine injection yet. When he got injected, his mum kept comforting him and I videoed to capture this precious moment.

Kitty Chan MAQAB 2010

I have become a Statistician by profession since I graduated from MAQAB programme (with distinction) at CityU in 2010. Last year I joined the 2nd National "Lingnan Cup" Statistical Essay Writing Competition organised by the Statistics Bureau of Guangdong Province and led by the National Bureau of Statistics of China, and I was awarded the first prize during the award presentation ceremony held in Shenzhen in late 2023. An extract of my write-up is now displayed at a Statistical Cultural Park in Gaoming, Foshan for public exhibition. I further received a year-end award from the Statistics Bureau of Guangdong Province for an outstanding presentation at the Guangdong Statistical Forum in December 2023. Apart from my official work, I also served as the President of the Rotary Club of New Territories last year and led a variety of community service projects. Some sharing of these projects and my life journey have been featured in 2 magazines as cover stories, namely the Spirit of Hong Kong; and Gourmet and Lifestyle. Looking forward, I plan to kick off my PhD study this year and will also charter a new Rotary Club in order to contribute more to my home country as well as my community.
