Your favourite/ most memorable project

My first capstone with a Singaporean event company was surely memorable but every capstone project and every different business partner, no matter how difficult some of them may be, is quite interesting too. Oh, and I also ran the Capstone once with my own NGO The Global Mangrove Trust!

What you envision for your area(s) of interest and research etc

I am putting my research expertise and knowledge into practice by building my own venture called Handprint Tech. The company is on a mission to integrate positive impact in every business transaction and we use digital technologies to do so. It’s very exciting and it enables me to better relate to the students who go through this ambiguous creation process.

If you might have a favourite book/ quote/ movie/ musical/movie character /special talent.. please do share your favourite(s)! And let us know why it is your favourite!

Favorite movie: Mulholland Drive, hauntingly beautiful despite completely not understanding what the story is about. Favorite Books: Lessons in Love (Alain de Botton), a disturbingly accurate portrayal of romance and how it goes wrong, and Mindsight, the new science of personal transformation (Daniel Siegel), because it changed my life in many ways
