About me

I am currently studying a Bachelor of Science/Doctor of Medicine at the University of Sydney, majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in Data Science. I am passionate about bridging the gap between innovation, policy, and social impact, particularly in healthcare accessibility and digital infrastructure. Through diverse experiences, including providing music therapy in palliative care, interning at a boutique healthcare advisory firm, and co-organising career and educational events as an executive for USYD’s Australia Chinese Youth Association, I have become particularly interested in how digital tools and precision medicine can enhance patient outcomes, both in Australia and internationally. Outside of my studies, I love curating music playlists and experimenting with new recipes!
"I am passionate about improving healthcare accessibility by combining medicine with technology, ensuring that better patient outcomes aren’t limited by geography or resources. The Westpac scholarship will help me explore how data-driven approaches can address real gaps in Australia’s healthcare system. I’m especially excited to learn from industry leaders and collaborate with others who are equally driven to create meaningful change."
