What do I want to achieve for VU postgrads in 2022? Through VUPA events, I want to share the research skills I gained from my PhD journey and my academic career with other HDR students. Besides, it is also an excellent opportunity to help other HDR students and me to learn 'new things' from different cultures or backgrounds to improve our knowledge and develop ourselves.
Something interesting about me? I usually do yoga, meditation and walking-in nature or bike every day to help me balance and inner peace.
