About Singapore

Well-planned and efficient, Singapore offers a big city experience without any of the chaos. The city combines technology and creativity to create an ultramodern lifestyle for its citizens. Singapore's multicultural population is constantly growing, making the metropolis a blend of Asian and Western cultures. The hardworking and highly educated populace enjoys a work-life balance that might be hard to find in other Asian countries. Despite its density and status as a nation, Singapore is small enough to easily get anywhere. With less than 125 miles of coastline, everything you need is within reach.

My internship at NUS Forensic Science Laboratory was a boost to my college career and decision-maker of my future. Many students say it's difficult to know what to pursue, yet I believe the first step is to be proactive and I'm glad I took my shot. The challenges that confronted me helped me grow as an individual and the happiness I found throughout this journey made me more certain of becoming a forensic scientist.
