About

I am a year 2 undergraduate in the National University of Singapore completing a Bachelor in Environmental Studies with a minor in Aquatic Ecology. I have a growing interest in marine ecology, conservation and research, and I value creativity and interdisciplinary thinking as key to modern problem solving. At the moment, I’m focused on developing a strong foundation in marine and coral research, while exploring opportunities to gain experience through projects, internships, and conversations with people already working in the field. Always happy to connect and learn.
