Building a Smarter, More Sustainable Future using STEM

I've always been the kind of person who sees a problem and immediately starts wondering, "Could technology fix that?"

​

When I witness Hong Kong's waste challenges, I see an opportunity to design a smarter system, one that led me to propose a mobile app that streamlines recycling logistics. When I think about consumers who don’t know where their food comes from, and how this lack of transparency causes a critical breakdown in trust with suppliers, I’m driven to engineer a blockchain solution for supply chain traceability.

​

My journey through AI courses, sustainability competitions, and leading school initiatives has taught me a strong lesson: innovation is most meaningful when it serves people and the planet directly. For me, STEM is the most dynamic tool we have to translate complex challenges into equitable, workable solutions.

 

It’s the process of turning critical observation into constructive action that genuinely excites me. It’s my way of turning "what if" into "what’s next."
