Academics

Part 1. Competitions

Part 2. Research

Part 3. Internship

Some of my favorite ideas refused to stay inside a notebook. They found their way into competitions, where questions became research and meetings became prototypes. I didn’t join much, but for sure I’ve lost count of how many times me and my team has to “pitch an idea”, haha. The awards on these pages are milestones I'm grateful for, but the real prize was definitely the journey of building something worth believing in.

Research is like a buzzword to me now, tbh. To my teachers, my mom and Google, I can’t be thankful enough. Down here are some of the research I’ve made, some are published, some are purely to spend time with friends (kidding, it’s actually our passion project). Nonetheless, I guess I’m pretty into research now.

For a little while, I traded my student uniform for an intern badge. Somewhere between meetings, questions, and note-taking, I caught a glimpse of something even scarier than school: employment. Well, at least I learned what event coordinating is!
