Chung","description":"Eric is an experienced content writer specializing in writing creative copies of marketing materials including social media posts, advertisements, landing pages, and video scripts. Since joining Pacific Prime, Eric was exposed to a new world of insurance. Having learned about insurance products extensively, he has taken joy and satisfaction in helping individuals and businesses manage risks and protect themselves against financial loss through the power of words. Although born and raised in Hong Kong, he spent a quarter of his life living and studying in the UK. He believes his multicultural experience is a great asset in understanding the needs and wants of expats and globe-trotters. Eric\u2019s strengths lie in his strong research, analytical, and communication skills, obtained through his BA in Linguistics from the University of York and MSc in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from the University of Bristol. Outside of work, he enjoys some me-time gaming and reading on his own, occasionally going absolutely mental on a night out with friends.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/eric-chung-6964661b1?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app"],"url":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/author\/eric"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/72"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15308"}],"version-history":[{"count":17,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15308\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":21676,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15308\/revisions\/21676"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21663"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
