My HKBU GIS education fostered an interdisciplinary mindset that helps me analyze client profiles, industry trends, and corporate strategies from multiple angles. The university's mentorship program and career talks offered valuable industry insights and showed how academic knowledge applies to real-world contexts. Through social service learning courses with NGOs, I developed practical problem-solving skills and a solution-oriented approach. These experiences were essential in shaping my career path.

Embrace the interdisciplinary nature of your studies. Connect with diverse people, explore different industries, and stay open to various possibilities. Apply your knowledge through internships, volunteer work, and extracurricular activities - these experiences bridge theory and practice while building essential communication skills. Most importantly, use university resources and program opportunities. If you have ideas, seek support from your department to make them happen. You are in charge of defining your purpose and creating your path.
