About

Versatile and dedicated professional with a proven track record across diverse domains, including education, research, management, and service. With a focus on effective time management, attention to detail, and strong work ethics, I bring commitment and proficiency to every role. Over 10 years in academia, I have honed my expertise in academic management, administration, and coordination at various levels. As an educator, my passion lies in teaching pre-university, undergraduate, postgraduate, and adult learners. I am committed to fostering an engaging learning environment through innovative methods, especially leveraging online tools and applications. Providing pastoral care to students has always been a cornerstone of my educational philosophy. My journey in biomedical science began during my undergraduate studies, leading to a Master's and a PhD in Molecular Medicine. I am proud to have secured national and university grants as a Principal Investigator since 2017, contributing to the academic landscape. I actively supervise Master’s and PhD students, fostering the next generation of professionals. Beyond academia, my vision is to raise awareness of the significance of science, particularly in STEM-related education in Malaysia. I actively participate in national entities, professional bodies, and serve as a member of the Young Scientist Network (YSN) by the Academy of Science Malaysia. Engaging in Science Diplomacy, I contribute to YSN's Science Policy and Diplomacy activities, including workshops on policy development and analyzing surveys on skilled workforces. Besides, i am also an editorial board member of an interactive and informative STEM related website https://esti.my/. This is a platform to hone your scientific communication skills and also look out for many science-related articles, careers and informative science trivia. In addition to my roles in education and research, I actively contribute to the scientific community as a reviewer for journals and conferences. I have played various roles in organizing local and international conferences, meetings, and workshops. My commitment to advancing science and education is evident in every aspect of my professional journey. Let's connect and explore opportunities for coaching, collaboration and knowledge exchange!
