Dr Sharon Yam

Welcome to my homepage!

I was a real estate consultant for about 12 years before joining academia. My area of practice involved mainly real estate marketing and consultancy, market research, real estate valuation and management.

My strong passion for teaching encouraged me to further my studies and I hope to be able to share my experience and knowledge with all students. Please do not hesitate to come and see me should you like to discuss anything on my research and teaching.
