I am an happy Site Manager because working in George Town allows me to continually learn and expand my understanding of cultural heritage. Being involved in an organisation that focuses on the preservation and management of George Town’s heritage deepens my appreciation of the city’s history, architecture, culture, and local communities. I get to see firsthand how George Town’s heritage is preserved and promoted, while also understanding the challenges of balancing conservation with the needs of the community and the development of the city. This makes my work meaningful because I am able to use my professional skills while contributing to the preservation of a place that is personally significant to me.
