Interested in policy, animals, hiking, making a difference and the environment. Not necessarily in that order. I don't subscribe to either structure or agency - both are equally important.
Currently I try to influence climate change policy through YOUNGO and also within my home. Home is Malaysia. Tanahair, tanah tumpah darahku.
Journalism is another passion of mine. The pen is mightier than the sword and I am inspired by journalists who have made a difference in society. I have written articles for several news sites and other sites to date, mostly on environmental issues and politics.
As fresh graduate from the University of Nottingham, I am in the process of setting foot into the working world.
