When I had to choose my major, my love for math and science made picking Engineering the most obvious choice. Now, 3 years into my major, I've dipped my toes into Engineering and Entrepreneurship, a testament to the versatility of Engineering.

Having the foundational technical knowledge allows each individual to approach a problem differently, looking for the existing gaps and wondering what information one has to fill the gap. HKUST has given me a platform for research, experimentation, and exploration - I truly learnt this when I was away from HKUST in UC Berkeley on exchange!

At HKUST, I never felt like I was limited by my major. I was always encouraged to use my engineering learning and apply it to other areas, which inspired me to begin my own startup at HKUST! I used my engineering learning to solve Hong Kong's food wastage problem with Breer, finding a new area of interest for myself. 

In the future, as an Engineering Student Ambassador, I hope to inspire other students to do the same, follow their passions and never feel limited by their majors! HKUST is all about leaving your comfort zone and excelling in it - your home away from home!
