About

I’m a student at NUS interested in sustainability and renewable energy. I’ve worked on projects, competitions, and student initiatives where I got to turn ideas into real-world solutions. I’m exploring the intersection of sustainability, data analytics, and innovation, and I’m currently looking for internships where I can learn, contribute, and make an impact.
