Why TSM New York City?

I wish to gain a global mind-set and this TSM will set to expand my personal beliefs about the tech world. This could be achieved through immersing in another culture by encountering new experiences and perspectives different from how things work in Singapore. TSM also allows me to see my culture from a different lens and develop my own personal views. With the opportunities to interact and engage with the professionals, it would definitely help me in my entrepreneurship/career journey that I envision.

Starting a business

• What types of business interest you?

E-commerce, analytics, marketing and social related businesses.

• What plan do you have in starting a business?

Currently, I am trying to gain more experiences on how the industry standard is like in setting up a business. With that, I am exploring more internship opportunities and overseas experiences related to my passion. I am also picking up new tech skills related to AI and analytics during my free time to prepare myself for any opportunities ahead.

What keeps you ticking?

My family is my main motivation and I wouldn't want to live my life with any regrets.
