Summary
Hi, I am a NTU MAE alumni from Class of 2020. I enjoy meeting new people and interacting with people. I used to stay in Hall 2, serving as captain of the Volleyball Team. I have also participated actively in NTU Toastmasters when I was in University to hone my public speaking skills.
Upon graduation, I was fortunate to join the semicon industry for 1.5 years managing technicians and am currently an Assistant Manager of Programme Planning at LTA, managing contractors and project timelines.
I have experienced being a student of NTU and understand the concerns that students go through. Now that I havve graduated recently, I am excited to share and offer guidance to mentees to help navigate University and work towards your personal and professional goals after graduation.
