With the guidance and support of my Line Manager and Mentor, Mr Tan Ting Feng, I was able to confidently take on new projects that pushed me to grow both personally and professionally. These projects enhanced my analytical skills, deepened my understanding of financial products, and strengthened my teamwork abilities. Through these experiences, I was able to make a meaningful impact in an industry dedicated to helping others.
NYP’s interdisciplinary curriculum, which blends academic knowledge with practical skills like project management and communication, was incredibly relevant to my internship. The foundation I built at NYP equipped me to succeed in this role and tackle challenges with confidence.
Overall, this internship was a pivotal part of my professional growth. It reinforced my passion for pursuing a career in finance and gave me the confidence to take the next steps in my journey.
