Summary

I'm currently studying Biomedical Science at UWS, and I really enjoy the depth and detail that comes with it. I have a strong attention to detail, which helps me deliver high-quality work and solve problems effectively. I value integrity and always strive to be honest and transparent in my interactions. I appreciate constructive criticism because I see it as a chance to grow, both personally and professionally.

I’m adaptable, which helps me handle unexpected challenges and thrive in changing environments. Looking ahead, I plan to pursue a Master’s in Physician Associate studies and hope to move abroad to work in healthcare. Outside of my studies, I love bike riding, reading, and playing badminton to stay active and balanced."
