Although I had few opportunities to connect with nature growing up in the city, I was always fascinated by it. That curiosity led me to pursue an undergraduate degree in tropical environmental biology and later a PhD at Monash. With environmental sustainability more important than ever, I feel a deep sense of purpose in contributing to this field. As expected, the academic rigour was no walk in the park, but the experience was all the more rewarding for it.”
