I’m currently studying in the Financial Technology program under the SEEM department and I’m really glad to be awarded the SEEM Scholarship. Although only in my second year, I’ve been equipped with solid background in both the financial and technology industry. I had been interested in how financial instruments like securities and all kinds of derivatives work as well as how to utilize technology to bring changes to the traditional financial industry before I got enrolled and now I’m well satisfied with all the knowledge I’ve acquired and the various opportunities and resources SEEM provided. In the future, I’ll keep improving myself and hopefully one day I’ll have the opportunity to give back to CUHK and the SEEM department.
