Leading with courage, serving with purpose

I am a policy analyst, entrepreneur, and community leader driven by a passion for creating meaningful impact. From founding startups to leading in male-dominated fields, I believe in breaking barriers and building bridges.

As Director of the Association of Malaysian Economics Undergraduates, President of my Taekwondo Club, and Vice President of the Computer Club, I've learned that true leadership means empowering others while tackling challenges head-on.

Beyond policy work at HEYA Inc., I dedicate my time to community service — volunteering with Teach For Malaysia and supporting education at a Burmese Nursery School. I believe that thoughtful action can shape national conversations and drive meaningful change.
