About Me.
I am an incoming Masters student studying Space Science & Engineering: Space Technology at UCL, having completed my Bachelors in Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Bristol. A Belgian national who was born and raised in Malaysia, I have been lucky enough to have travelled to many countries in the world, immersing myself in many different cultures.
​
I am a very curious person who is constantly on the look for new and exciting engineering technologies. I am environmentalist who is keen on reducing his carbon footprint at every step of the way.

Activities & Interests
At my time in Alice Smith I took part in many competitions and events. First of all is being Senior STEM prefect. This role allowed me to coordinate around 12 people to conduct a week of promoting STEM in school, through a series of activities and events. Also during my A Levels I was a mentor/ teaching assistant helping GCSE & KS3 students with Physics.
My interest in space and exploration has led me to partake in two astronomy Olympiads where I was awarded a Gold and Bronze award. I was also privileged enough to visit NASA Johnson Space Centre in Houston as part of a school trip, where we attended a space camp. In this camp I worked in a group of 5 to construct a model rocket, rover and design a model for a Mars habitat. There were also a series of material testing's to expose it to space like temperatures.
​
DoE Bronze - I received the award after completing 13 hours of community service where I volunteered at an orphanage teaching them English, Mathematics and Science.
​
For a long part of my high school experience I was invested in playing the piano where I worked my way through challenges and was awarded with a distinction in Grade 8 Contemporary Piano as well as a merit in Grade 7 Musical Theory, both by Rockschool.
