Meet Nur Estya bte Rahman, Research Associate at The Asian School of Environment, at Nanyang Technological University Singapore. Estya is an excellent scientist working on revegetation projects. With her background in plant physiology and ecology, she often organises field trips into the forests to collect leaf samples for experiments. Estya is truly passionate about nature and biodiversity conservation. When travelling was allowed, she would use her spare time to volunteer for the MYCAT, which is an organisation for tiger conservation in Malaysia. She hopes for more youths to take the lead in creating a positive impact on the world around us. Watch as Estya shares about her work in STEM research, driving sustainable development in Singapore.
