Who am i

Hey friends! I’m Selene. A medical laboratory science undergraduate who enjoys content writing. 

Sprinkling in bit of fun writings in my life other than daily academia!

This page is a little self indulgent, it’s all about me 🙂
Hopefully you’ll find it interesting though, and get to know me better!

2003 – 2020
I was born in Hong Kong in 2003. Living in this city most of my life, I grew up with a mix of Chinese and Western cultures. My family exposed me to English a lot throughout my childhood, from cartoons, to fictions, and daily conversations.

As a kid I always liked building and creations – Lego and Minecraft were a core memory of my play time. 

2020 – 2022
During my second year in senior high school, my family offered me an opportunity to study abroad in New Zealand. I took on the opportunity and studied in a small high school in Masterton. Living in a dorm and a new culture has been a life changing experience. I became more independent and confident in trying new things. I started my first blog @selenewrites after graduating from high school. 

2022 – 2024
I am studying at University of Otago, doing a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Laboratory Science. Dunedin is a city where it has more to offer than it seems! I restarted blogging and share stories in my life through this blog!

Next steps...

Currently focusing on studies and get my bachelor’s degree.

Hope to get more experience in working in healthcare and laboratories during the school year, through internship or part time work alike.

Also continuing my faith in God and exploring more of what life has to offer! 

One of my favourite quotes:
“You cannot reach new destinations without the courage to leave the shore.”
