Fun Facts

Swimmer, Lifeguard & Sports Lover

Swimming and lifeguarding

I love swimming, and I am a Red Cross certified lifeguard. I believe swimmers are very strong, patient, and consistent!

I fell in love with swimming during my Ph.D., when I learned how important it is to be consistent and patient. I also love that swimming gives me a completely different space to unplug and reset.

I am happy that I can thrive in the water and save someone if needed!

Before becoming a swimmer, I was more of a badminton player! I played on my university badminton team, and I still have a fun memory of winning a competition with my friend and somehow ending up in my university newspaper afterward. (Quite a long time ago!)

I am always up for a badminton challenge!

Plant Lover

My plants

I love watching my plants grow. I adopted some plants during my first year of the Ph.D., and now they are very tall.

I wish I had also grown this much in research!

I enjoy watching them grow from small sprouts or seeds into plants and propagating them to share with my friends.

Maybe it is no coincidence that I ended up researching the cannabis industry! 🌱

Animal Lover

My dog

I also love animals, especially my dog, and I think the feeling is mutual!

Whenever I go out, I somehow meet different kinds of animals quite easily.
