Denise is a Yayasan TSLSC scholarship recipient hailing from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. She crossed over to Peninsular Malaysia for her higher education studies, where she completed her degree in Real Estate Management at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). Denise received the Dean’s List award every year throughout her studies, successfully graduating with First-Class Honours.

As well as excelling in her studies, Denise was involved in various extra-curricular activities. She was involved in UTHM’s yearly orientation week, Minggu Haluan Siswa (MHS), where she served as a facilitator and mentor for new intake students. She was also her class representative for Realtors Club, a committee formed by the real estate management students within the faculty to encourage involvement of students, lecturers & university in improving the degree program. In addition, Denise held positions in Foreign Language (Spanish) and Tennis, where she was involved in organising a foreign language event and tennis tournament in the university for public schools to participate in.

Denise has a knack for arts and music; hoping to watch a musical live one day. She loves having meaningful conversations with people, it could be anything from current issues to daily life stories, as it helps her open her perspective to matters. During her downtime, Denise enjoys taking short getaways to travel as she believes that quality time spent alone allows her to function better in the long run.
