Celina joined 3R in 2004 as the latest 3R host immediately after finishing her degree in Engineering from the Universiti Malaysia Sabah. However it was a long journey to finishing her degree. Two years into her course, Celina made a brave and unconventional move: she took a two-year break from her studies to do voluntary work. Feeling that there must be more to life than an academic qualification, she decided to give herself the chance to see more of the world before she takes on the ruthless challenge of the rat race.

Thus, through some friends, she got involved with Pink Triangle, a grassroots organisation working with marginalised communities such as transgenders, gay men and women, drug users, sex workers and HIV-positive people. After graduating, Celina was offered a job in a multinational oil and gas company which she turned down in favour of hosting 3R, a decision she has not regretted.

Celina was appointed UNICEF Malaysia Goodwill Ambassador in June 2005.
