A Vision of Service
"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
To earn my degree in engineering so that I may build a more inclusive world where technical solutions are always grounded in human empathy.
I believe that the most profound technical skills are those that include the human element. The world faces deep social and ethical problems that require us to be directly on the ground. This is why I immerse myself in my community today—I want to understand exactly how the real world works before I begin to build for it.
My experiences have taught me that true problem solving begins with listening. I am dedicated to bridging the gap between pure logic and the people it is meant to serve.
At weekly Meet the People Sessions, I translate emotional struggles into actionable government appeals. This role has taught me real problem solving beyond textbooks.
Working with the Siglap Youth Network and Eastwood Ria Network, identifying and addressing daily community hurdles.
As an emcee, I focus on understanding human interaction. Managing room energy or small groups, learning to communicate with heart.
I serve my community today so that I can craft inclusive engineering solutions tomorrow. My ambition is to become a builder who ensures everyone can prosper together.

Expanding awareness of community policy under Dr Maliki Osman and MOS Dinesh Vasu Dash. Weekly MPS operations allow me to listen directly to residents and build practical problem-solving skills.
