Decked out in a grey blazer over a lighter grey sleeveless top, Carmen ticks all the right boxes and exudes all the qualities of the girl next door so adored by everyone. The 34-year old has been acting for the last seven years both locally and across country borders for television, and the big screen, leaving an impressively long trail of followers in Asia.

A self proclaimed workaholic, the multilingual actress had always had her schedule packed with the hustle and bustle of activities. She took on her first part-time job at 14 while juggling with her studies and the countless school clubs she participated in. Those busy school days were just a telling of how diligent Carmen has always been with her time.
Her modelling career leaped to new heights as she, then 21, moved to Hong Kong for four years, and starred in commercials and music videos for the likes of pop idol Aaron Kwok and Jacky Cheung.
