From a young age, I dreamed of running my own business. In secondary 3, I spearheaded a team to run a fundraiser for needy students. We sourced affordable jeans, adorned them with designs and crafted a marketing strategy. The venture opened my eyes to the importance of merchandising, accounting, and leveraging social media to raise awareness. Through my part-time work at Starbucks, I learnt the value of proper business planning. I aspire to refine my skills in business operations, aiming for a role in a prominent retail corporation before embarking on my entrepreneurial journey.

I've always been fascinated by how things work. As a child, I enjoyed taking things apart and reassembling them to understand their function. I thrive on troubleshooting and attention to detail, which drew me to electrical engineering. I excelled in Physics, earning an A1 in my Term 1 assessment. I was also selected for the Young Technopreneurs for a Sustainable 2030 Hackathon Challenge, where I applied the Scientific Method and used Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to create a 3D-printed Microbial Fuel Cell from a CAD model.

My interest in the intricacies of ageing and the social determinants was piqued by noticing the difficulties my ageing grandparents had encountered. I volunteered in a programme with Volunteer Switchboard to distribute goodie packs to the seniors' residential area. I focused on what they needed and provided it, ensuring they felt heard and appreciated. Interacting with the elderly has inspired me to learn more about social aspects and improve their quality of life. Getting into TP's gerontology course would fuel my desire to make our society more inclusive for our ageing population.
