A quote that inspires you

The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all

An interesting fact that is not known about you

During the pandemic, I started a small business called “Cards in Colour” to create hand-crafted, hand-painted cards to inspire meaningful connections between friends and family. It combined my passions for painting and spreading kindness and was inspired by letter exchanges I started during the first national lockdown.

What are your future aspirations or dreams?

I hope to establish a start-up to create technological innovations that will make a difference in the lives of others, especially pertaining to cancer prevention, supporting those living with cancer, or celebrating Asian culture to address discrimination and ignorance while creating a sense of pride and belonging in Asians. I also aspire to work in the field of space exploration to advance and support research and space travel in efforts to improve life on Earth!
