Debate champion, Imperial College London engineering graduate, teacher, consultant, river rescuer, Joshua Tay. Once you get to know Joshua, you’ll find that he has a wide array of talents and experiences.
Joshua received scholarships for A-Level programmes in private colleges in Malaysia and also for his undergraduate degree at Imperial College London.
As the Head of River Safety for White Water Summer Camp (WWSC), Joshua develops and establishes the standards for river safety, and as a member of CERC, he crunches the financial numbers for the Fundraising and Finance departments, and even writes copies for newsletters!
Upon graduation, Joshua was selected by cabinet ministers of Malaysia for a chance to work with the Minister of Works. He then joined Teach for Malaysia as a Fellow, where he was posted to Pulau Ketam to teach History and English for 2 years while obtaining a Postgraduate Diploma in Education from the Northern University of Malaysia.
Joshua knows deeply how instrumental education has been in setting him up for life. Despite having worked as a Senior Associate in a global investment holding company, Joshua definitely still has a heart for his first love — teaching.
