I graduated from University of Hong Kong with BA Geography in first class honors and joined WWF and KFBG to promote conservation of natural environment in Hong Kong.

I feel very lucky to be selected as the Swire James Henry Scott Scholar to pursue master degree in the UK. During the study, I gained extensive exposure of environmental studies from lectures, field trips and experiments. The final project of fungi and forestry enabled me to practise field sampling and isolation of wood decay fungi in laboratory that may help create appropriate habitats for shrinking population of woodpeckers in countryside.

It was a memorable and enriching year that the study in Scotland and exciting traveling in Europe are engraved on my mind forever. Heartful thanks are given to various teachers, friends and preceding scholars who genuinely helped me throughout the year. I highly appreciate that youths in Hong Kong and China are given the precious opportunity to study overseas and make contribution back home.
