A Bit About Me
Research + Sports
Ever since I can remember, I’d always wanted to be a scientist  when I grew up. I’ve always found many subjects intriguing and interesting, motivating me to investigate and research as many sources of information as I could get my hands on. Besides research, my passion has been contributed to basketball in where I learnt cooperation and solidarity, which in turns facilitate my study and research career.
