Staff Updates
Dear colleagues and friends,
I have completed my 3-year tenure at the ROCB A/P on 30 June 2020. The day I started working at the ROCB A/P in 2017 seems like very recent and I cannot believe it is already 3 years, but this may be because days at the ROCB have been full of valuable experience and joy.
