My experience studying for an MSc in Environmental Technology at Quest International University marked the culmination of an educational journey that began with a solid foundation in science, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Biotechnology at the same university. Graduating in 2023, I gained invaluable hands-on experience in repurposing single-use plastic waste into sustainable construction materials such as bricks and paving blocks. Along the way, I was fortunate to have amazing mentors who provided me with guidance and support. I had the opportunity to participate in various national and international conferences to share my knowledge. Quest International University provided me with the ideal environment to explore my interests. It equipped me with the skills necessary for the next chapter of my professional life.
