Non-existent on the World Wide Web

I did a search for "Bernice Cheung" on google, only to find that www.Bernice.ca (my resume website) is actually not on there! As such, my domain is almost non-existent on the world wide web.

I'll be reading up a little on website optimization, but in the mean time, I have to clarify the correct vs. incorrect entries under my name in order to control my good name! =)

I'm not a beauty queen / TV celebrity from Hong Kong, nor am I an English Director. I'm a marketer and if you want to know more about me, you'd have to see my website Http://www.Bernice.ca/

Correct entries with my link is as follows:

Linked In Public Profile - Linked In is a very useful tool for networking (I'm part of LION, an open networking group where members help each other).

http://www.linkedin.com/pub/0/a71/6a1 Bernice Cheung - Versatile marketer with a strong drive to excel and loves a challenge

NAAAP (North American Association of Asian Professionals) Toronto Board of Directors - I've been the marketing director of NAAAP Toronto for almost two years now and I've been loving it! It's a great professional network with professional development as well as a social aspect. Great organization with monthly events - ranging from charity (Little Asia), cultural (Reel Film Festivals), diversity-oriented (Diversity Symposium), fun (Bowling), networking (Power NAAAPing - similar to speed dating, but for business networking purposes) and professional development (presentation skills). I enjoy leading the team of volunteers to design events, market it to our members, as well as initiate special projects. One particularly great benefit is that I got an opportunity to meet some like-minded individuals who wants to give back to the community.

NAAAP Toronto Marketing Committee - Yes, I'm also recruiting for volunteers to join my team.

NAAAP Toronto Little Asia Program Guide - Yes, I'm also the marketing / PR coordinator for Little Asia (both 2006 & 2007)

McMaster Photo Contest
http://www.mcmaster.ca/ua/alumni/connect/photo_contest.htm
Though this is no longer current, I was the photo editor of Marmor (student yearbook at McMaster), and yes, I was in charge of the photo contest. I wonder what's going on with this initiative now that I'm gone?

Oriented
http://www.oriented.com/people/people_index.aspx?Employer=American+Express
A link that I didn't even know existed! I joined one Oriented event and is somehow on this list. Strange...

There might be more, but so far this is all I've found.

JUZD - The Planet's First Bamboo Designer Label

Though this has nothing to do with finance / lending, this is a new initiative that my friend started. Quite interesting indeed.

Some interesting facts about Bamboo...
1. Most eco friendly fabric on the planet
2. Antibacterial - keeps you feeling and smelling fresh
3. Highly sweat absorbent
4. Pulls moisture from skin for evaporation
5. Powerfully insulating - keeps you cooler in summer and warmer in winter
6. One of the softest fabrics on the planet
7. Naturally UV protectant

The philosophy behind these designs are "organic aggressive", very unique indeed!
