Achievements
Jasmine's academic and extracurricular achievements reflect a strong commitment to positively impacting glocaly. One of her most significant experiences was the semester-long exchange program at West Virginia University, United States, in Spring 2024, which expanded her cross-cultural perspective and strengthened her communication skills. This opportunity allowed her to interact with students from different nationalities and learn about global communication challenges firsthand. Her ability to adapt to new environments and excel in this program speaks to her resilience and intellectual curiosity.
Her leadership shone brightly during the Asia Pacific Youth Convention 2023 in Nepal, where she was awarded the "Best Talent Award" and the "Most Inspiring Delegate". As the host of three "cultural nights" during the five-day convention, she played a key role in fostering unity and inclusivity among participants from various countries. Her coordination of performances and cultural activities helped create an engaging and inclusive environment, showcasing her skills in event management and her passion for cultural exchange.
Within Lingnan University, her involvement for over six semesters in the Buddy Scheme highlights her commitment to supporting international students. She has assisted numerous students in navigating life in Hong Kong by organising cultural exchange outings and offering personal support. Her efforts have been critical in helping these students adjust to a new cultural environment and enhancing their university experience. They also form memorable friendships with buddies who visit each other during travel after the exchange periods.
