I Am A Youthful Site Manager Because I am new to the field of heritage management. Despite being a novice in this sector, I strive to integrate my substantial corporate and financial experiences into organisational practices, achieving a systematic workflow and sound output. Working at this historical enclave where I once grew up at has armed me with a great sense of accomplishment. I revere the site for its heritage values and cultural components that are well intact, complementing George Town’s pragmatic development. I hope that the team’s shared efforts shine a light on George Town’s underlying potential and capability.
