Summary
I am a person with many interests in a wide variety of issues and topics. To name a few, I actively follow news and groups, and participate in conversations and discussions on topics such as politics, globalisation, data, future of work, race, religion, gender, equality, sustainability, volunteerism, adulting, parenthood, arts and culture, sports, youth development, community development, service-learning, teaching and learning.
With over 10 years experience in the Singapore public service, my knowledge and networks span different public agencies in relation to grants, programme, events, partnerships, comms and IT systems. As an alumni of the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), I can also help facilitate / bridge connections where necessary.
Feel free to hit me up for a chat if you want to know more about anything! =)

The Asia-Ready Exposure Programme (AEP) is a youth development programme by the National Youth Council (NYC) that empowers youth to be Asia-ready by providing opportunities for meaningful exposure to ASEAN member states, China and India (ACI), and strengthening their competencies in building friendships and networks within the region.
Specifically, the AEP aims to:
- Increase youth awareness and understanding of the social, cultural and political dimensions of
ACI cities.
- Increase awareness of the economic growth trajectories and opportunities in ACI markets.
- Broaden personal growth opportunities and youth ACI networks.
Each AEP is co-organised and co-funded by NYC and its partners from the Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs), Youth Sector Organisations (YSOs) and/or corporates.
Drop me a message if you have ideas, opportunities or projects for short-term overseas opportunities for youths, or would like to find out more about the AEP grant available!
