About me
As an Australian university student studying cybersecurity at Murdoch University who strongly values supporting those living in developing Southeast Asian communities, I am immensely passionate about expanding low-cost digital infrastructure and technological programs across borders into these countries to help support those who are unable to access adequate facilities such as education and healthcare and foster a new generation of creative thinkers. In 2024, I spent two weeks in Timor-Leste, exploring the Island and working alongside local communities to help construct a hospital clinic. I firmly believe that through innovative AI-powered digital solutions, countries like Australia and Singapore can operate as a technological hub within the region to enhance access to facilities such as education and healthcare in remote communities. Beyond this, I enjoy traveling and exploring Southeast Asia's diverse and rich cultural offerings and designing software prototypes as a hobby.
"I am incredibly honoured to have been given the opportunity of a lifetime to help build a brighter future by forming a robust network of scholars with whom I can collaborate and work to achieve each of our aspirations and provide equal opportunities to those residing in developing Southeast Asian countries through innovative solutions."
