“During my internship in the Supply Chain Department at CitySuper, I had the opportunity to bridge the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world application. As a statistics major, I was eager to explore how data analysis supports supermarket operations. From measuring CBM and calculating totes and picking robots to participating in phase meetings, I gained hands-on experience with logistics data and optimisation tasks.

A highlight of my internship was contributing to the Warehouse Automation Project, where I learned to break down complex problems into actionable steps and adapt to challenges such as missing data. These tasks sharpened my Excel skills and deepened my understanding of hypothesis testing in practice.

Beyond technical work, orientation activities and site visits helped me understand the broader operational systems behind retail supply chains. Experiencing a professional environment in Hong Kong also gave me insight into working styles across cultures.

This internship not only enhanced my data analysis capabilities but also inspired me to further explore career paths at the intersection of data and operations. I’m grateful to the team and College alumnus, Ms Mona Liu, who made this experience both enriching and impactful.”
