About

Hihi! I am currently a Year 3 undergraduate student in National University of Singapore, currently pursuing a Primary Major in Chemistry, alongside a Minor in Botany, as well as a Specialisation in Chemical Research. My main interests have evolved to encompass the broader sensory experiences, which include fragrance chemistry for smelling, and audio mixing for hearing. Having been exposed to research during my polytechnic internship, I have continued on this path of exploration in university through the completion of an Undergraduate Research Opportunities Programme in Science (UROPS), and I am currently working on my Research Project in Chemistry (FYP). In doing so, I seek to develop my research and lab skills, while also broadening my exposure to academia. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, thinking both technically and creatively about how different instruments sound and blend together. More than that, this has provided me with the opportunity to be a better communicator, being more proactive in helping others, and to strive towards the same goal to serve others. Like many, I am still on a journey of self-discovery. I love to keep learning, and I am more than happy to share about what I have learnt as well. To my juniors, feel free to reach out if you need any advice or help. Cheers! :D
