My name is Teo Su Ching Angeline. I am currently pursuing my undergraduate studies in NUS, majoring in Chemistry. The current Final Year Project that I am working on has allowed me to find my passion in Chemistry and synthesis work. Though challenging, synthesizing of new compounds is interesting and there are so much more to explore. I am considering furthering my studies in this area if possible. During my vacation in Year 2, I had internship in a chemical industrial company and it definitely added on to my exposure in this field, as well as development of great relationships with my ex-colleagues. I enjoy challenges in work and see them as a chance for me to achieve success.
My other greatest passion is to travel around the world, not that I have gone to many places, but it can definitely be achieved in the time to come. As a student, being able to travel out of Singapore in every vacation is what motivates me to work hard to earn myself a good break. In every trip, I get to learn new cultures and new activities that I can never experience in Singapore, such as skiing, diving and river rafting. It is an enjoyment to immerse oneself in the different environment and gain new experience by constantly learning new things. From these trips, I have also learnt to be more independent and achieved better communication skills.
Since my high school days, I have been given opportunities to display my leadership qualities, such as holding the position of Vice President for the First Aid Club in Hwa Chong Institution and being an officer in St John Ambulance Brigade. They were great experiences and I have acquired the skills to be a team leader, as well as a team player.
