Jasmine Chen - Studyportals

In her current role, she is responsible for processing, verifying, and updating data records to ensure accuracy and consistency across internal systems.

She spent over four years working in hospitality, where she honed her people skills and adaptability in fast-paced environments. In 2024, she made a bold career shift by completing a QA Engineer course, driven by a passion for technology and problem-solving. Now, she’s excited to bring her fresh perspective and growing tech expertise to her role at Studyportals.

Her key challenge was transitioning from a customer-facing hospitality role to a data-driven tech environment. Adapting to new tools, workflows, and technical concepts required persistence and continuous learning, but she embraced the shift with enthusiasm and a growth mindset.

Her favourite activities include sipping coffee at cozy spots, visiting petting zoos, aquariums, and spending time with animals of all kinds—just not the insect kind. She enjoys long walks in nature, indulging in sweet treats, and exploring spicy dishes inspired by her mixed cultural background. Whether it’s a peaceful stroll or a dessert hunt, she’s always up for a little adventure.
