TreeHugger Welcomes Writer Jasmin Malik Chua
by Jasmin Malik Chua, Jersey City, USA on 01. 1.07
Jasmin Malik Chua launched helter-skelter into the hard-hitting world of journalism when her caterwauling failed to impress the directors of her high-school choir and she resigned herself to writing for the school newspaper, instead. (She knew she should have gone with On My Own.)
After earning her bachelor's degree (with merit) in animal biology at the National University of Singapore, she went on to graduate from New York University with a master of science in biomedical journalism and a dependency on heavily caffeinated beverages.
Several national newspapers, magazines, and Web sites later—in her 11 years in publishing, she has written for everyone from Hewlett-Packard, Daimler-Chrysler, and Timberland to Archaeology, Genome Technology, Computer Shopper, MAMM, and The Scientist—Jasmin now covers sustainability and the environment at TreeHugger.
An amphibious New Yorker/New Jerseyan, Jasmin lives just across Hudson in Jersey City with her husband and two cats.
Pet peeves: Smokers, paper and plastic disposables, and climate-change denialists named George.
