Marscella is a 17-year-old indigenous girl from the Island of Borneo (Sarawak). She is passionate about education reformation, democracy and political empowerment among the young people, and youth and women empowerment. She was once the Design Lead for Undi Sarawak, an organisation that empowers Sarawakian youth through democracy and educates them through politics and democracy literacy. She was also in the student outreach team of Project ID, student champion at Unicef #kitaconnect, and one of the scholars for Reach Uni 21' under Closing the Gap Malaysia.

One action Marscella would like everyone to take:

"We don't want our next generations to be still fighting for anything that we fight for now. Quality education, climate action, any issues that we're concerned about should be tackled now in the togetherness of every passionate person."
