" My journey to founding OMNIA is driven by my desire to use business as a force for good in the world. "
Growing up across four different cultures—China, Australia, Britain, and America—shaped my understanding of how transformative education and support can be. When I moved to Australia in the 5th grade, I faced the challenge of adapting to a completely foreign environment. I couldn’t understand the language in class and struggled to connect with others. The only way I could communicate was through playing soccer, using body language to build relationships and learn the importance of seeking help. That experience planted the seed for what OMNIA would eventually become.
Empowering Potential
I founded OMNIA as a global resource hub to support individuals who might lack the resources or connections they need to reach their full potential. Through our membership program, we provide access to invaluable resources, whether it’s educational tools, mentorship, or networking opportunities. My vision for OMNIA is to leverage education as a catalyst for change in people’s lives. I know firsthand how powerful education can be in fostering growth and opening doors to new opportunities.
In today’s rapidly evolving world, particularly with the advent of AI and other technological advancements, I believe creativity and innovative thinking are crucial. OMNIA is designed to nurture these skills, giving students the access and opportunities they need to think outside the box and become the pioneers of tomorrow.
Long-Term Vision: Building a Better Future with OMNIA
Looking to the future, my long-term plan for OMNIA is to establish a foundation dedicated to finding sustainable ways to help underdeveloped areas and those in need. By creating this foundation, we can use education to leverage opportunities that improve lives in disadvantaged communities around the world. My goal is for OMNIA to be more than just a company—it’s a platform for empowering people to succeed and make a lasting, positive impact on the world.
