THE DOMINO EFFECT — Passions
AN EXAMPLE - I might not have known Student Energy if I had not volunteered at their Summit in Bali in 2015. Ever since, the chain reaction happened: CEM-10/MI-4 Youth Leaders Forum in Vancouver, Student Energy Summit in London, Southeast Asia Regional Coordinator for the Global Youth Energy Outlook, which led to presenting at COP26 in Glasgow and joining the Global Covenant of Mayors Youth Policy Innovation Team. BEYOND THAT - From NGOs in Malaysia to youth-led startups in Fiji, these connections required me to reconnect with old colleagues and extend the network from mutual acquaintances - Being a part of a passionate and inspiring community has taught me the value of collaboration, people power, and diverse perspectives *Whom we choose to surround ourselves with reveals a lot about our values and characters. Most of the connections that I fostered were essentially the result of participating in numerous international competitions or conferences since attending university. Like dominos, I hope to keep opening doors of opportunities and rooms for contributions.*
