Bio
Antonia (Yuen Cheung) Yau
Ms Malin is one of the most hardworking teachers I have met. She taught me all about EVENTS operation and management during an online program. She understands that online lessons might be boring, so she keeps finding ways to interest us to engage in the lesson. She also prepares us as managers or good employees with all 15-minute preparation presentations. She is also knowledgeable about events operation and management, and her advice aways points out something small but important. Overall, she has a passion for events and teaching!
