Hey, I'm Ethan Chew

I led a vibrant community of over 280 members, overseeing internal operations and high-level external partnerships. Over my three-year tenure, I focused on institutional growth by overhauling administrative systems, launching community-centric initiatives like "Project Through Our Lenses," and establishing a robust equipment rental system. By collaborating with brands such as Canon and coordinating with industry professionals, I bridged the gap between student interest and professional practice. This leadership journey allowed me to hone my commitment to empathetic leadership and systematic problem-solving, which I aim to carry into my future career.
