I’m a student dietitian from Hong Kong currently studying in Australia, and I’m delighted to contribute to a project that explores translation, cultural diversity, and multicultural experiences in Hong Kong. Although it’s outside my main field, it’s been a wonderful chance to learn more about cultural communication and inclusivity. My role involves website development and social media management, where I enjoy sharing ideas and presenting stories in creative and accessible ways. This experience has broadened my perspective and strengthened my appreciation for diversity and meaningful connections.
