      2007 - 2010
      Bachelor of biotechnology (hons.) marine biotechnology cgpa - 3.098 (upper second class)

      Activities and Societies: Adventure and Recreational Club (ARC), Science Students' Society (SCIENCESS) My final year project was a comparison of the effectiveness of three different types of artificial reefs in attracting coral and fish populations at Pulau Perhentian Besar, Terengganu. It involved SCUBA diving, underwater photography, tallying fish and corals, and recording data on a dive slate. The project helped me hone my diving skills, as I had to learn to maintain neutral buoyancy whenever I was near the artificial reefs, and I also had to learn to record data while floating upside down… Show more My final year project was a comparison of the effectiveness of three different types of artificial reefs in attracting coral and fish populations at Pulau Perhentian Besar, Terengganu.

      Master of marine science (did not finish) marine conservation

      My research was on the impacts of recreational snorkellers on the corals of Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi, off Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. By tracking the geospatial extent of tourists' snorkelling activities with a GPS unit and recording the coordinates of places where they stepped on or touched corals, I planned to develop a map to help Sabah Parks identify which areas might need to be cordoned off using booms to reduce coral damage from human impacts. For this project, I had to learn about… Show more My research was on the impacts of recreational snorkellers on the corals of Pulau Manukan and Pulau Sapi, off Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

Unfortunately, I did not finish the research due to financial and motivational problems resulting from the passing of my father. Show less

    • Mobile world magazine

      May 2008 - Jun 2008
      Intern writer

      Mobile World magazine is a monthly English language publication about phones and mobile technology in general. In the two months that I interned with them during the semester break of my second year at university, I managed to land a phone review in their June 2008 issue and a feature article in their July 2008 issue. Apart from writing feature articles, my work mostly involved writing news for their magazine and website, interviewing and photographing people for a section called "My Dream Gadgets", and attending product launches and press conferences.

      Apr 2009 - Jul 2009
      Trainee aquarist

      The Aquarium & Museum of Borneo Marine Research Institute (BMRI/IPMB), Universiti Malaysia Sabah is a small attraction on the campus which showcases some of the animals that the institute is researching, like giant groupers and various other grouper hybrids (fish breeding and cultivation) and corals (coral propagation). My work there as an industrial trainee involved cleaning tanks by SCUBA diving, collecting live coral and seaweed specimens from the wild for the exhibits, assisting graduate students with field work, collecting data on water quality to plan the renovation of a tank, and working on a project which aims to improve tank water quality using seaweeds.
