I firmly believe that we are all purpose-driven rather than just random matter floating in the universe. Each of us share a different story to the discovery of our purpose, and many including myself is still in that journey. So far, I have come to realize that my life purpose is to bring vision to life & bring life to vision. To find what that visions are, I have dived deep in the world of academic research, entprereneurship & community service.
