SKILLS
WRITING
ACQUIRED THROUGH: DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION, GCE A LEVELS, INDEPENDENT STUDY
As my eyes largely fail me, I've mostly turned to words to express sentiment. My written works mostly encompass dissertations surrounding the social sciences and journalism. At times, I've written screenplays as well.
DATA ANALYSIS
ACQUIRED THROUGH: WILEY CERTIFIED DATA ANALYST, DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION, GCE A LEVELS
Using the programming language 'R', I am able to make use of machine learning to conduct data analysis. I've applied it to various projects in my diploma, and have dabbled in sentiment analysis and big data as well. My knowledge of mathematics helps to supplement this.
COMMUNICATION
ACQUIRED THROUGH: DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION, TEACHING
Pretty much everything I did in my diploma related to this. I picked up persuasive communication abilities, along with presentation skills in the form of radio. My time spent teaching has helped me hone my communication skills as well.
PRODUCTION
ACQUIRED THROUGH: DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION
Part of my reason for joining Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Mass Communication was to overcome my inability to create content that appealed to the user experience. Suffice to say, I'm no Leonardo da Vinci or any other critically acclaimed creator you may know, but I think I've made some progress! I've come up with a couple of graphic designs, and have participated in several video productions. I've also been involved in several radio productions, such as short talk sets and commercials.
KNOWLEDGE
MASS COMMUNICATION
ACQUIRED THROUGH: DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION
My time in Ngee Ann Polytechnic's Mass Communication really opened my eyes to the effects of mass media on society and how it is evolving. Heck, did you know that there is an argument for video games to be considered a form of mass media?
ECONOMICS
ACQUIRED THROUGH: GCE A LEVELS, DIPLOMA IN MASS COMMUNICATION
My study of economics has allowed me to understand how the economy works, both on an individual and global scale. My time in Mass Communication has also solidified my understanding of how perceived changes in market conditions affect human behaviour.
MATHEMATICS
ACQUIRED THROUGH: GCE A LEVELS, WILEY CERTIFIED DATA ANALYST
It is my belief that Mathematics is one of the most accurate ways in which we can explain reality - I do have a rather extensive library of knowledge surrounding Mathematics, with my favourite being Fermat's Last Theorem. My time with Wiley has also helped cement concepts regarding regression and hypothesis testing.
LITERATURE
ACQUIRED THROUGH: GCE A LEVELS, TEACHING
Given my aptitude for writing, its probably a given that I enjoy the study of how words interact with reality. My time spent teaching students has also greatly contributed to my understanding of Literature.
PHYSICS
ACQUIRED THROUGH: GCE A LEVELS, INDEPENDENT STUDY
With my obsession with the nature of reality, this became the natural choice for one of my three A Levels. I have a peculiar interest in quantum physics and string theory. I mean, isn't stuff potentially being in two places at once so cool?!
