The Diploma of Foundation Studies allowed me to engage with various social welfare organisations and kindergartens, helping me find my career direction. The programme is equivalent to five Level 2 subjects in the DSE, enabling me to register for professional qualifications after completing my Higher Diploma and progress to Bachelor’s Degree. Thus, I began my career in special early childhood education.

The IVE curriculum equipped me with professional knowledge in fitness and sports skills, giving me a deeper understanding of systematic training. I also had the opportunity to intern at various sports associations, where I learned about sports facility management and event organisation. These experiences have given me the confidence to pursue a career as a full-time athlete, striving towards my goal of becoming a top rower.
