05 / Skills & experience
Skills & Experience
My practical business and analytical foundation was built at Greenmore Architecture (greenmore.vn), a prominent landscape architecture firm in Vietnam. Greenmore is a family business founded and managed by my two uncles, Mr. Toan and Mr. Tuyen. Working within this family venture gave me unique hands-on opportunities and early trust to apply my quantitative analysis, ERP systems knowledge, financial modeling, and digital media skills directly to real-world corporate operations.
