About Me
Hello! I am Clairene, a year 4 undergraduate at the National University of Singapore (NUS). I am currently majoring in Communications and New Media, with a second major in History. Specifically, I am attempting to focus more on culture communications and observing how new media shapes different perspectives. Apart from the media side of things, I am also extremely interested in history and the stories that shape our present day.
​
In my free time, I enjoy debating for the NUS English Debate Team and I am currently trying to pick up the guitar again (after learning a bit when I was young). I am incredibly inquisitive and outgoing, so feel free to start a conversation with me anytime!
