Science, story,
and connection.
I'm a final-year Chemistry student at the University of Auckland, graduating June 2026. My world sits at the crossroads of STEM, startups, and storytelling — I believe the best ideas live where curiosity meets communication.
From synthesising catalysts in the lab to pitching VR flood-preparedness solutions in 5-day sprints, I thrive when problems are hard and teammates are curious. I'm actively co-developing Kāhui, a machine-learning sheep lameness detection platform for Aotearoa's farms.
I live in a space of translation — between science and innovation, between what graduates are handed and what they deserve. New Zealand science graduates often face a narrow funnel: academia, industry, or leaving. I want to change that. By bridging STEM and entrepreneurship, I'm working to create third spaces where creativity meets real numbers, and where the next generation of Kiwi scientists find reasons to stay.
Outside the lab: I take photos and document daily life, write poetry, crochet, and love a good yarn. Languages: English (native), Chinese (conversational).
