Summary
A keen lover of nature and the outdoors, I have spent the last 5 years pursuing a double degree in Geography and Environmental Studies in Canada. Equipped with a deep understanding of the inseparable interconnection between society and nature, I hope to apply my various academic achievements and hands-on experiences to drive sustainable solutions in urban environments, and join Singapore's front-line conservationists on their journey towards creating a harmonious existence between nature and society.
