About

Hello! I am currently serving my National Service term until mid-2027, and am an incoming Chemical Engineering undergraduate at the National University of Singapore! My natural curiosity and drive for excellence propel me to explore new opportunities and embrace challenges. I firmly believe that challenges are catalysts for growth, pushing me to surpass my limits and avoid resting on past achievements. I am always eager to stretch my boundaries and inspire others to do the same. Improvement is a constant motivator in my life, and I am committed to being the best version of myself in every role I undertake. Beyond my academics, I actively seek out community opportunities that allow me to explore my passions and develop leadership skills. With a strong interest in driving positive change, I have contributed to youth policymaking and community leadership spaces, where I worked alongside like-minded individuals to advocate for solutions that protect and empower others.
