Why did you choose Warwick?

1) A Russell Group university, which means Warwick is one of the most prestigious, well-known universities across the UK and the world.

2) And that also means Warwick is a top choice to research and learn from.

But most of all, I was awarded the ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM scholarship by the British Council, ASEAN Secretariat, and Warwick to pursue my Master's degree.

What are you doing now?

I'm a trainee Clinical Scientist (Clinical Scientific Computing) for Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust, under the Scientist Training Programme (STP) by the National School of Healthcare Science.

What motivates you to do what you do? 

I want to use my skills and knowledge to make an impact in society in the present. Being able to use them in healthcare is one way I know my work is being used for the now, for the betterment of the future.

How has your time at Warwick influenced what you do now? 

Going much more in-depth into the specialisms in computer science gave me a broader perspective of the paths I could go into, for example: quantum computing, bioinformatics, data science (which is already a popular specialism), and many more.

Favourite memory? 

1) Meeting all the other scholars at the Global Warwick Scholars' Dinner in Rootes and getting to know so many bright, wonderful scholars from across the globe.

2) Meeting the other women in STEM scholars at the University of Glasgow, together with the other ASEAN-UK SAGE Women in STEM scholars from Warwick.

3) Making colourful boba with the Good Food Society.

4) Late-night studying in the library until 3 am because the library is open 24 hours!

5) Volunteering at the Warwick Arts Centre and getting to watch "free" shows. Some notable shows are Jimmy Carr's comedy show, An Evening with Richard Dawkins and Friends, the Warwick Malaysia Society's yearly drama, and the Christmas Lectures.

Favourite place on campus?

The Library.
