Rachel is currently a full-time student in the Master of Journalism programme at the University of Hong Kong.

She began her journey by participating in the Solar Project held by Radio Television Hong Kong Radio 2, which provided her the opportunity to attend sharing sessions with radio hosts and produce a radio program.

She has been covering news stories on different local news and events, including the “Three-Runway System 10km International Race,” the follow-up on the fire that broke out in the Wah Fung Building in Jordan, and the latest change in “1+” mechanism as it has been extended to all new drugs to be approved for registration in Hong Kong.
