Hi! I’m honored to be part of the AAO Fellows Team for this academic year.

I know that the first year at university can be challenging without proper guidance. That’s why, having spent two years at NU (including NUFYP), I’ve gained valuable academic and extracurricular experience that I’m happy to share with you!

Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you have questions — I’ll do my best to help!
