Born and raised in Hong Kong, Belinda is a 21-year old environmentalist and avid windsurfer. Her passion for ocean conservation began upon discovering all the waste across Hong Kong’s beaches and coastal shorelines at the age of 14. Since then, Belinda has spear-headed environmental initiatives focused on education, advocacy, and empowerment of young people for issues concerning marine plastic pollution in alliance with local and international NGOs.
Some of these projects include high school
campaigns about recycling, beach cleanups, and most recently, a podcast about sustainability in Asia featuring prominent professionals across numerous sectors.
She is currently pursuing an MSc in Environmental Technology specializing in resource management at Imperial College London. Her interests include the intersectional nature of sustainable management of our ocean, innovation, community engagement, and data science. Belinda plans to continue contributing towards innovative solutions addressing the most pressing issues facing ocean health and biodiversity.
