The most important lesson Daryl has learnt as a student activist is the importance of listening.

Daryl is currently pursuing a double degree in Law and Liberal Arts at Yale-NUS College. As coordinator of The G Spot, the Yale-NUS gender and sexuality alliance, he has initiated various initiatives, such as Ally Week, Doing It Right (a sex-positivity and safer sex campaign) and Qamp, a two-day LGBTQ+ student activism training camp. Daryl also led the group in achieving the AWARE Student Initiative Award in 2015. Outside of Yale-NUS, Daryl, together with leaders from four other LGBT+ university groups, co-founded the Inter-University LGBT Network, which organises cross-campus programmes such as Qrientation, a welcome event for incoming LGBT+ and allied freshmen.
