The MFA scholarship has been a catalyst for me, pushing me to reach greater and higher peaks. This support has allowed me to embrace leadership as President of the King's College London Singapore Society, where I've helped Singaporeans in the UK find their footing and build lasting friendships and memories. My role also gave me the opportunity to collaborate with other cultural societies, showcasing our culture while celebrating the diversity at King's. I've also been grateful to explore my creative passions, performing in "Sama-Sama the Musical" and "Counter Offense." My mentors at Mission have been incredibly supportive in these endeavors—in fact, our "Sama-Sama" performance was even graced by Singapore High Commissioner to the United Kingdom, Mr Ng Teck Hean!
