Hi everyone, this is Yuki (she/her), a final-year Management and Marketing student. I'm an ENFP with a bright and sociable personality. Making new friends makes my life more colorful, so I can’t wait to meet you all at our Spark Global activities. A fun fact about me: other than Cantonese, English, and Mandarin, I can also speak Korean as I’ve learned it for 6 years! Hence, no need to worry about the language barrier if you want to chat with me.

Winfield NGO

Hi, Winfield here (he/him)! I am a local student in the final year of my Biotechnology major. In the last year, I went to Sweden for exchange, which allows me to experience the different facets and landscapes of this diverse world!! The experience reminded me how little did I know the world. As a foodie, I also love sampling various cuisines, as food and gastronomy serve as universal items that bring people together. I hope to meet more friends who share my enthusiasm for trying new food, although I may draw the line at exotic delicacies like Surströmming and Casu Marzu.

Vadim GRACHEV

Hey, everyone, I’m Vadim (he/him)! I studied at an international school in Thailand, where I had the opportunity to connect with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds. This experience has been truly invaluable to me, and taught me the importance of embracing different perspectives and finding unconventional solutions to problems. I strongly believe that building relationships with people who are different from us not only allows us to learn about them but also helps us better understand ourselves.
