Intern (Content & Video Editing)
I was the Content and Video Editing Intern with the Media Team of this company from June to August 2025. My daily tasks included brainstorming, writing, filming, and editing short-form, engaging social media content. We were often deployed to events organised by other teams within the company, where we would assist in operations or capture behind-the-scenes moments of our team in action. On other occasions, we conduct formal shoots for video requests from different companies, whether for corporate or promotional purposes. The fast-paced, varied environment provided valuable exposure to both in-house productions and client-driven events—experiences that will leave a lasting impact on my career.
Video Production Intern
I joined CTS as a video production intern from January to July 2024, assisting the multimedia designer in producing content ​for the company. As the team was merely the both of us, we had to be in charge of the whole video production process from planning to filming and finally editing. Apart from video production, we also received requests from other departments for other types of content such as photos. This is a whole new venture for me as I got the chance to witness and participate in the content creation for the corporate sector. This was no doubt an extremely enriching and fulfilling journey of mine.
Student
I am currently a full-time undergraduate at Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information at Nanyang Technological University. The courses offered provided me with greater exposure to the media industry and increased my knowledge of the theories behind certain decisions and actions observed. The many hands-on activities on professional equipment also trained me in the relevant skills required in the industry.
Member
I joined this CCA as a member from 2022-2023. In weekly CCA sessions, I picked up many new skills from the trainers and had the chance to practice on industry-used platforms. We also have opportunities to participate in various competitions, learning more from other participants as well. The school would also often engage us to produce different videos for the school's use, such as videos to celebrate the various festivals and themed videos shown during orientations.
Videographer
Having met Chef Charles Leow through a course assignment, we agreed to support each other in building our respective careers. He would invite us to his events and activities, providing us with the opportunity to practice and refine our skills in food photography and videography. In return, we would share our work with him to be featured on his social media platforms, helping to document and promote his events. These experiences not only increased our exposure but also contributed to the development of a stronger portfolio. It has been an incredibly valuable opportunity for us as aspiring media professionals.
Digital Platform Manager
Owing to being a family business, I was handed the opportunity to assist the company in its digitalisation process. Hence, I proceeded with creating an official website, organising the relevant information about the products and services we provide. In addition, social media accounts were created to help in the company's marketing efforts. The corporate video and social media posts handled all by myself were also subsequently uploaded onto the platforms. Although the results are not top-notch, it was a great learning experience for me.
In addition to my undergraduate studies in Communication Studies, I pursued a second major in Business at Nanyang Business School to complement my skill set. This combination allowed me to gain a well-rounded education, blending creative communication with practical business knowledge. The business courses expanded my perspective on how organisations function, covering areas such as management, marketing, accounting, finance and operations. This multidisciplinary approach enhanced my ability to analyse real-world business challenges critically and apply strategic thinking in various professional contexts.
