Animal advocate since secondary school

I've cared about animals since I was a schoolgirl — I've been involved in animal and pet protection since secondary school, long before any of this. I started Manja Pet as a personal project: a warm, trustworthy home for the cat people, dog people, and every pet lover across ASEAN, in the languages our region actually reads.

My dream goes further than articles. I want to open pet clinics across the region — places where science-backed medicine comes wrapped in real warmth, where no owner is rushed and no question is ever too small.

And I don't want to build it alone. I'm looking for partners who love animals as much as I do — to help shape and run this community with me. If that's you, let's talk.
