I worked as an intern at one of Malaysia's blooming fashion companies.

This includes completing tasks like aiding in the manufacturing of prototypes to big-scale productions. A few pieces in the Spring/Summer 2021 collection were named after me as a token of appreciation.I worked closely with the CEOs of Kree, Malaysia while learning the principal methods of operating a successful online business.

Jul 2020 - Aug 2020
Produced a comprehensive qualitative survey analysis which was included in a report sent to UNICEF. This analysis supported the mixed methods longitudinal research on the impact of COVID-19 on low-income families with women and children and the effectiveness of COVID-19 mitigation policies. This study aims to contextualise the impact of shocks such as COVID-19 by looking at selected poor urban communities in Kuala Lumpur and analysing deprivations and vulnerabilities they have experienced during the crisis, and policy measures in protecting the vulnerable. This analysis successfully attained evidence regarding the impact of COVID-19 on low-income families with women and children, and the relevance, adequacy, accessibility and effectiveness of key social policy and service delivery responses to the COVID-19 crisis. I finalised this qualitative survey analysis by breaking down the themes derived from the transcription and presenting them visually via Microsoft Power Point.
