Peter Drunker once said, "the best way to predict the future is to create it." My work as a researcher has taught me the key quality of perseverance, pursuing challenges and experiential learning.

I actively volunteer my services in community outreach programs such as beach cleanups, career days, student mentoring, education guide at Ushaka Marine World and Frail Care Centres. I'm able to effectively communicate with a variety of personalities and form networks as well as work well in a team.
