Work/Study Life Balance? - It's Possible!

I am a bubbly young intellectual who is driven to empower women in the field of technology. I also love creating/being part of communities and actively work on building product communities and Women In Tech communities in the little red dot of Singapore! Being an ESFJ, I enjoy speaking to new people and learning new stories. I also try to make some spare time to give back to society, either by volunteering in my neighbourhoods or at societies catered for friends with special needs. Where the time flies, I don't even realize!

Youth Corps Leader

Youth Corps Singapore
Dec 2021 - Jan 2022

Nominated and selected to be part of Cohort 26 of the Youth Corps Leaders Programme among 100+ applicants.
In this program, aspirants are groomed to become Volunteer Leaders: gaining experience in diagnosing community needs, engaging different community stakeholders, as well as picking up skills pertaining to project management and volunteer management. It will also be a journey of self-discovery as you uncover your passion to serve, and your potential to rise up as youth leaders.
My Project was called "Project Shine" where we collaborated very closely with Youth Adult Activities (YAA!) @ Rainbow Centre, a social service organisation in Singapore for infants, children and youths with special needs like autism, intellectual disability, developmental delay, and multiple disabilities.
The project mainly involves hosting biweekly engagement sessions for the youth with special needs from Rainbow Centre’s Young Adults Activities! (YAA!) social club. Our sessions span across 3 school terms, with each term having a unique theme - namely arts and crafts, sports, and nature trails. Through these sessions, we hoped to empower our clients to explore different interests and activities, engage in sensory play, and gain greater confidence in self-expression. Our ultimate goal is to promote the social inclusion of Persons with Disabilities, and build a more compassionate and understanding society that looks beyond their disabilities.
I was also the co-lead on Publicity & Design and made several of the marketing collaterals.
