Eddie Kuan is not only an alumnus of our university but also a manager at Enter-Link, a company founded by TIIS graduates and led by Dr. Janice Pan. Enter-Link provides translation and interpreting services through an online platform that combines AI-facilitated tools with human translators and interpreters. Enter-Link is open for all TIIS graduates to sign in and become part-time interpreters and translators.
Eddie graduated in 2022 with a double major in English Language and Literature and Translation. He quickly realized his interest in English language was to foster communication between people from different backgrounds. Despite the added workload from pursuing two degrees, Eddie enjoyed exchanging ideas with peers from different backgrounds and perspectives on language use. Eddie recommends this combination of degrees as they complement each other, and learning English can help improve one's ability to express themselves in translation.
One of the most memorable courses Eddie took was Dr. Pan's Community Interpreting course. During this course, he not only interpreted but also organized events and collaborated with others. One of the most memorable events was with Mr. Huang Bin, a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Although the interpreting was challenging as it incorporated Chinese spirit, Eddie found it satisfying. He also served as the interpreter for the Intellectual Property Forum, which brought new and challenging language. Eddie also remembers fondly Dr. Cynthia Tsui's course, which laid the foundation for what translation is and how to use proper expressions.
Currently, Eddie is also working as Dr. Pan's research assistant on a Peak Performance project. In this role, he has had the opportunity to work with famous people and talents, including Mr. Wong Kam Po, one of the best cyclists in Hong Kong, who won the Rainbow Jersey. The project has allowed him to hear inspiring behind-the-scenes stories and learn how these individuals think and bring new ideas. In the future, Eddie's plans to obtain a PgDE degree and become an English Language teacher, nurturing the love of language and communication among young students.
