I believe that being a Jack of all trades can be better than a master of one, as versatility and adaptability are essential in today's fast-paced world. The DCHE course has taught me a multitude of skills, from technical expertise to interpersonal communication. I developed a passion for product design and other engineering specialisations that I never thought I would enjoy. With a diverse skill set and a broad knowledge base, I am well-equipped to face any challenges that lie ahead.
