Throughout my university life, I’ve embraced leadership and creative roles that have shaped my skills in communication, project management, and strategic thinking. I serve as the Financial Controller of the Communication Student Association (COSA) and Head of the Office of Treasurer for IPRMSA IIUM Chapter, where I’ve gained hands-on experience in managing budgets, financial planning, and organizational operations.

I’m passionate about purposeful communication whether it’s telling a brand story, managing a crisis, or connecting with audiences meaningfully. Let’s connect and explore how I can bring value to your team.

— bits and pieces i call home.

In my hometown of Tawau, there’s a little hidden gem that always brings a smile to my face—the Teck Guan Cocoa Village. Not many people know this, but Tawau is one of Malaysia’s top cocoa producers, and this village showcases everything from how cocoa is grown to how it’s transformed into delicious chocolate. I remember visiting it during a school trip, and the rich, earthy smell of cocoa beans roasting under the Borneo sun still lingers in my memory. We got to taste freshly made chocolate and even tried our hand at making our own little bars. It was a wholesome experience that reminded me how even the quietest towns can hold stories full of flavor, tradition, and pride.

Another place that holds a special spot in my heart is Taman Bukit Tawau, though most of us locals just call it “Table.” It’s our go-to escape whenever life, especially during high school, gets a little too overwhelming. Just a short drive from town, "Table" offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature, where the air is cooler, and the sound of the forest replaces the usual buzz of daily stress. My friends and I would often spend our weekends there, walking the trails, dipping our feet in the clear river streams, or just sitting under the trees and talking for hours. It became more than just a park—it was a sanctuary, a place where we reconnected with ourselves and each other, and found calm in the chaos of growing up.

My interest

Into the outdoors activity

One of the things that truly keeps me grounded is my love for outdoor activities. Whenever life starts to feel overwhelming, especially with the demands of university and responsibilities, I find peace in escaping to nature. Whether it’s hiking up a trail surrounded by trees or just soaking in the cool waters of a hidden waterfall, those moments allow me to breathe, recharge, and reconnect with myself. There's something calming about the sound of leaves rustling or water flowing that reminds me to slow down and appreciate the present. I genuinely enjoy exploring nature, it's my little escape from the noise of everyday life. If I had the chance, I’d always choose a nature getaway, be it a spontaneous hiking trip or a simple day out by a waterfall, because that’s where I feel most alive.

Badminton

Badminton has always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, I used to dream of becoming a professional player, chasing shuttles on the court felt like a good body refreshment, and I genuinely believed that one day I’d make it to the big leagues. But as life took its course and my path shifted towards a different direction, that dream slowly evolved into something more personal. While I may not be competing professionally, I still carry that passion with me by playing at least three times a week. It's more than just a hobby—it’s a space where I push myself, release stress, and reconnect with that part of me that once dreamed big. Every game is a reminder of the discipline, focus, and joy that badminton has taught me, and I believe that keeping the sport in my life is my way of honoring that childhood dream, even if it looks a little different now.

Singing

Singing has always been a little spark in me, something I discovered unexpectedly when I joined the nasyid team during elementary school. Back then, I didn’t even know I could sing, I just joined for fun. But standing in front of a crowd with my teammates, harmonizing and sharing our voices, made me realize that maybe, just maybe, I had something special. As I grew older, though, things changed. Watching other students in high school who had powerful, confident voices honestly made me doubt myself. Funny, isn’t it? How something you love can feel so small when you start comparing yourself to others. I stopped singing for a while, thinking I wasn’t good enough. But the beautiful part is, the people around me never gave up on me. Friends and peers kept encouraging me, reminding me that singing isn’t always about being the best it’s about connecting, expressing, and bringing joy. When I entered degree life, that support grew even stronger. I started getting invited to perform at club grand dinners, farewell nights, and Eid celebrations. And each time I stepped on stage, it reminded me of that little kid from the nasyid team nervous, but full of heart. Now, singing is more than just a hobby it’s a part of who I am, and every note I sing carries a piece of that journey.
