Zhang Yue Han Tessa
Associate Technical Consultant
Summary
Enthusiastic environmentalist with numerous passion projects for nature and sustainability. Brimming with positive energy and outlook on improving the lives of animals and wildlife. I have been curious and engaged in learning about animals and the complex relationship in ecosystems since I was a child, having been inspired on walks in nature and by books that taught me more about empathising with other living beings. There is an inexplicable feeling of awe and joy I get when observing animals and I can never grow bored of seeing them. Nature fascinates me and I want to do more to protect it and help it flourish.
