About

As a proactive and versatile Chemistry graduate from Nanyang Technological University, I bring a unique combination of scientific expertise and commercial exposure through internships in both laboratory and marketing environments. My background includes hands-on research in organic synthesis and biochemical techniques, as well as strategic B2B marketing and product management in the specialty chemicals industry. Through these experiences, I’ve developed strong analytical thinking, communication, and project management skills. I am open to dynamic commercial roles that leverage my chemistry background to drive business growth, as well as laboratory positions requiring precision and technical proficiency. I am eager to contribute to organizations where I can bridge science with impactful real-world solutions, and I thrive in both collaborative and fast-paced work settings.
