I’m Melvin — a graduate from St Andrew’s Junior College, with diverse interests in Law and Politics. Presently, I hope to dwell deeper into criminal, commercial, international law and policymaking.
A passionate individual that believes in maximizing the potential of others, I've been privileged to have had opportunities to lead and represent my institution in several school-wide initiatives & events. — contributing back to the institution
A driven and inquisitive individual, I actively explore and source for opportunities that can serve to enhance my public speaking and communication skills, whilst simultaneously allowing me to network meaningfully with other individuals from all walks of life. — putting myself out there
Ideally, I try to take time out every month to volunteer with organisations to serve the local community. This has not only allowed me to be more empathetic towards the needs of others, but has also help me to constantly keep in touch with society. — staying rooted and grateful
Do reach out to me if you have any ideas that you believe I can help value-add. Always happy to learn.
Cheers.
*In my spare time, I like to take the opportunity to go for walks and hikes, along with trying out new dining options around the island.
