Hi, my name is Nadia. I was born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia. I major in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering and minor in Business. As an international student from Indonesia, studying in HKUST has been an amazing journey after my high school graduation. Not only do I get to learn alongside classmates with different backgrounds and great ideas, but I also get to learn from experienced faculties.

HKUST, especially the School of Engineering, has offered me great opportunities both academically and non-academically to grow as an aspiring future engineer. I have benefited a lot from programs such as Overseas Exchange Program, SENG Peer Mentor, UROP, REDbird Award Program, Career Mosaic and many others. All of these chances were given to me so that I could explore my interests, broaden my horizon and build my career aspirations. As an ESA, I would like to share about these experiences, my passion in engineering, and how being HKUST Engineering student helps me to grow as a person holistically.
