About

I'm a Biological Sciences graduate from Nanyang Technological University (2026) with hands-on experience spanning immunology research, regulated-industry compliance, and team leadership. I'm drawn to roles where scientific rigour translates into real-world impact - across research, biotech and pharma operations, medical communications, and clinical operations. My final-year research attachment at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), A*STAR, focused on how circadian rhythm disruption affects immune cell function. Working with Cre-loxP conditional knockout models in mice, I carried out PCR-based genotyping, flow cytometry, and immune cell phenotyping of bone marrow-derived macrophages and pulmonary myeloid cells. The work built habits of precision, systematic documentation, and reproducibility that I now bring to any technical environment. During my internship in Environment, Health & Safety at GlaxoSmithKline - across the Jurong and Quality Road sites - I gained practical exposure to GMP documentation standards, SOP development, and compliance reporting, coordinating across QA and operations teams. It gave me a working understanding of how quality culture operates inside regulated manufacturing. As President of NTU's India Student Integration Committee, I led event programming, vendor management, and budget oversight, driving a 25% increase in community engagement - experience that sharpened my stakeholder coordination and project management skills. I'm a fast learner, comfortable with ambiguity, and multilingual (English, Hindi, Spanish, Malayalam). I'm currently seeking entry-level and graduate roles across the Singapore life sciences sector.
