Playing a role in wildlife conservation was never part of her career plans when Ms Lim Wei Qian was growing up.
“Animals can’t tell you what they think, so it is on us to observe and understand what we can do for them,” she adds. She had graduated with a Bachelor of Business from James Cook University in 2011. Prior to that, she attained a Diploma in Tourism & Resort Management from Ngee Ann Polytechnic in 2009.
“Things are never really the same at work and it helps my personal growth,” she says. “I also enjoy the feeling of working together with my colleagues and our volunteers for a common goal — to protect wildlife. Everyone here takes pride in their work,” she says. She was also able to learn from lecturers with rich industry experience. One of them who made an impression her was Dr Donald Tan, who frequently shared his work experience and understanding of the marketing industry with students.
