Thalia Chung

Thalia Chung, with over 20 years of experience in Business Management and Staff Training acquired through various opportunities in the Hotel & Restaurant, International Franchising, and Entertainment fields within Jamaica, Canada and the USA realizing a need for Internet Marketing to represent Jamaica not just on a professional level but a first world level. This young entrepreneur has uniquely brought Jamaica to the Global Market. She raised the bar for Jamaica and its exports and imports by imposing global standards on our products and services, thus augmenting the caliber of brand JAMAICA.

Creating her space...In earlier months of 2002, Thalia Chung conceptualised and developed on an idea with friend and now, business associate, Tracy McArdle. They worked endlessly to bring Thalia's vision to fruition. In May 2003, Thalia Chung made a decision to resign from family business to take a risk against all odds to stick with only a vision and a hope for Jamaican Lifestyle.com.

That mere vision was Jamaican Lifestyle.com and today it is well accepted and known by thousands in Jamaica and around the World as Jamaica's Premier Online Web & Email Exposure Vehicle networking Businesses, Organizations, Services, Products and Events. Jamaican Lifestyle.com serving to network the business communities and individuals of countries to include, the United Kingdom, Africa, China, Australia, Japan, the Caribbean, Canada and the USA.

Since its launch on to the internet in August 2002, Jamaican Lifestyle.com has developed into a unique medium of communication and marketing, which has proven to be an Information hub that networks thousands via its Email Exposures on a daily basis. Striving to increase and maintain her levels of professionalism, Thalia continues to let her work speak for its self. Her broad experience and many accomplishments are a true testimony to the level of her capability. Through Jamaican Lifestyle.com she strives to deliver the highest possible standard and consistency when representing Jamaica in an International forum.

Thalia Chung continues to encourage all in Jamaica and around the World to make a consistent and dedicated effort to strive to allow one self to explore their own possibility, to create their own space of opportunity and take their own vision on a positive journey into the Future. She continues to challenge all Jamaicans and Jamaica's business community to 'step up to the plate' in providing the very best of what Jamaica has to offer on a World-Class standard. Thalia refuses to accept the negative stigma that has been perpetuated by sensationalized and maintains that any form of marketing for brand JAMAICA must meet a certain criteria and standard to ensure that we place our best foot forward at all times. Further to that while it may seem very elementary, Thalia requires that anyone with whom she conducts business must be an authentic representation- where by they say what they do and they do what they say- and as she’s learnt in the past this is a key element that cannot be assumed.

Jamaican Lifestyle.com - continues to lead the way through networking thousands on a daily basis through awareness to encourage all to support each other as a business community. Thalia Chung remains very passionate about her work she continues to with the openness and willingness of others who provide services and who are equally willing to 'get it mindfully right!’ She encourages all to recognize that the journey into the future will be a life changing process and we must continue to uplift and inspire others to rise on a professional level without compromising self and positive vision.

Today, Thalia has made her dream a reality and as she continues along her own personal journey she inspires Jamaicans and Jamaican-linked world wide, to work together as a united front to leave a positive influence of 'a way of life' for future generations to come.
