Po ying Mak

As a culture enthusiast, I seek experiences working in the art and music field, broadening my views and knowledge by learning new materials and being expose to different circles. 

As a person on the earth, I seek to build connections with people and wish to dig deeper than what's on the surface. Good Communication is key. 

As a hard working individual, my job is more than work. I wish to contribute as much as I gain, that it will help me grow and I will help it grow.
