Evelyn Wong

I am a recent law graduate looking for part-time positions to diversify my portfolio this summer. I am interested in client-facing roles, hence, I prefer job opportunities in retail. I am fluent in English, Mandarin, and Cantonese. I have clerical experience at local law firms and I am also skilled at managing social media platforms from my previous internships. Please feel free to contact me regarding job opportunities.
