Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia
I’m a Year 4 Biomedical Science student at UKM, passionate about diagnostic science and research. Throughout my academic journey, I have maintained a 3.85 CGPA and earned the Dean's List for 6 semesters, balancing rigorous lab-based coursework with hands-on industry experience and student leadership activities. I have underwent practical training by clinical rotations at HCTM and HSAAS, where I gained exposure to medical diagnostics including Hematology, Microbiology, Chemical Pathology, Histopatholgy, Cytology and Transfusion Medicine. Aside from that, my Final Year Project focused on in vitro research, evaluating the photoprotective properties of natural compounds on human skin cells using aseptic techniques, cell culturing, MTT, and GSH assays. Beyond the lab, I have remained active in student leadership programmes. Having served as Vice Secretary for UNESCO-UKM and Secretary for the Student Executive Council, I have gained skills in program management, secretarial work, stakeholder communication (including collaborations with Pusat Darah Negara), and advocating for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
