I have a Master in Public Policy from the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy at the National University of Singapore.


My motto is “per aspera ad astra”, which means “through hardships to the stars”. I believe that anyone can overcome challenges and achieve their goals with the right mindset and guidance.


That’s why I created Break into Tech: Reinventing your Career with AI, a comprehensive program that will teach you how develop your power skills and leverage generative AI to transform your career and create positive impact.
