| Introduction | I have served the Whittlesea and Darebin community for more than 20 years. I have extensive experience in community connectedness, development, engagement and partnership gained through managing many long and short-term project activities. I am an energetic and committed person. I am an author and co-author of 47 publications. The aims of these publications were to improve the health and quality of life of the people. I published more than 20 articles, which are associated with community and volunteer work. I am fluent in English, Chinese languages and dialects: Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien and Hakka. I am familiar with Microsoft Office Suite - Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel. I am the winner of Victorian Community History Awards 2004 in the category of Best Collaborative and Community Work. I am a winner of 2009 Multicultural Awards for Excellence in the category of Service Delivery to Multicultural Victoria Community Services. Local residents nominated me for the City of Whittlesea Australian Day Awards 2010 in the category of Citizen of the Year. I assisted WCA receiving Certificate of Achievement Premier’s Community Volunteering Awards 2009 and 2010 – Metropolitan. |
