About

I am a BSc majoring in Natural Resource Management graduate from UWA, with a focus on agriculture, town planning and sustainability. I was previously a finance diploma holder but made the jump to work closer with nature because I am unable to sit still for long and nature offers so much more! I have been working in various farms for the past 5 years across South East Asia and Australia, ranging from 1 month to 7 months. I did stints in a dairy, a broad acre & grazing, mushroom, organic vegetables, rice plantation, rooftop, hydroponics and indoor farms. My current role as the project lead for an urban farm in Singapore allows me to utilise the lessons I learnt in university and tap on my various farming experience to create a one of a kind close-loop urban farming facility. The name of the farm is called Citizen Farm. It is a high tech driven but socially inclusive farming model that allows the employment of marginalised community.
