Dedicated and highly motivated graduate with a strong interest in law enforcement and community safety. These skills from work apply to studying psychology or public safety, where maintaining composure and de-escalating tense situations are critical for ensuring public safety and building trust within the community. I am passionate about community outreach programs and leading individuals to contribute to giving back to society. Seeking to join the undergraduate programme at SUSS, contribute to SUSS student pool and build a foundation for a future career in my interested field.

With nearly five years of experience in martial arts, I've represented the School and obtained a Champion for Individual round and Second Runner-up for Team round in 2023 and Third Runner-up for Individual round in 2024. Through my experience in the Sport, I've developed strong resilience and the ability to adapt quickly by learning from mistakes and accepting constructive critiques. Awarded the Sportsmanship Award in 2024, I was able to exemplify the attributes of determination, perseverance and passion for the things I like.

In 2025, I took part in a one-year course in Youth Corps Leadership Program as the Publicity Head of my team, Neighbour Cares. Working in a team of 11 members, we proposed our project solution to do befriending sessions and creating home engagement kits for seniors. Our team is responsible for reaching out to isolated seniors in the Toa Payoh district. We would do door-knocking, befriend isolated seniors, and bring them to community gatherings weekly for 10 sessions, over 3 runs (9 months). As the Publicity Head, I used my drawing and designing skills to craft releases and publicise our project on various social media pages such as Instagram, Telegram and the DCA webpage. I was proficient in Canva, Google Slides and Microsoft to design posters, send word-of-mouth messages and capture memorable moments with our seniors. During door-knocking, we have to converse with seniors appropriately and effectively engage with them.

Organized events for seniors in St Luke's Eldercare in Tampines. I went with a group of 10 VJC students to go to St Luke's Eldercare three times to conduct activities that will improve the elders' motor skills and allow them to have fun. We hosted games such as Bingo, Memory card, and Donkey to engage seniors in eldercare.
