I am a 12-year-old with a deep passion for music, art, and innovation. I began playing the violin at seven and am currently working towards my diploma. I am a violinist with the Singapore National Youth Sinfonia.

I have had the privilege of performing live at Carnegie Hall, New York City, and have received multiple awards for violin and vocal performances in competitions such as SRIMF, the Singapore International Music Competition, London Young Musician, American Protegé and the Vienna Virtuoso Competition, among others. I was also part of ChildAid 2022, where I had the opportunity to perform for a meaningful cause.

Beyond music, I am passionate about design and tech. In 2024, my group’s idea on “Cost-Effective Smart Household Water Usage Tracker using IoT”, which was based on Singapore Green Plan’s goal of cutting water usage by 12% in 2030, was one of the 20 selected globally to be presented at the MIT AI and Education Summit (USA). We won the 1st prize in both the Hackathon and Poster Presentation.

Additionally, my group’s idea on “The Extendable Hawker Chair” was awarded a Distinction in the MOE Innovation Programme (IvP) and was further nominated to participate in the Tan Kah Kee Young Inventor’s Award (TKKYIA). My painting, depicting a Singapore Kampung was also awarded 2nd place at the National Junior Watercolour Competition.

In my free time, I have volunteered at my nearby community centre to play games with the elderly. I have also raised funds for social enterprises through my violin playing and auctioned artwork, with 100% of the proceeds going to the beneficiaries.
