Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
1. To me, TSM is a great platform to meet individuals with similar interests in Entrepreneurship. From there, I can expand my network and meet new people, hopefully be exposed to a wide variety of opinions and perspectives with regards to entrepreneurship.
2. Although the study mission will be virtual, it still allows us to be exposed to the different cultures and perspectives overseas. The fact that the course is not limited to the local scene in Singapore may bring about a diversity in perspectives that I find extremely important.
3. Due to the fact that the study mission is also virtual, I find that the current period to apply for TSM is very cost-friendly for me.
- Where would you like to visit virtually?
I have no particular country in mind. I have not yet visited a wide variety of countries, and having said that, any country apart from Singapore's neighbouring countries would give me much to learn.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Finance-related companies that make use of technology/big data to increase efficiency or maximize margins.
- What plan do you have in starting a business? (list existing business)
I am still learning about the process of starting a business, and would like to take in more perspectives and opinions from more experienced individuals for now. I will definitely start out working as an employee first as well, to obtain a certain amount of capital required to even start any business.
Past Experiences (optional)

Equity Research Intern, Leanne Capital (June 20 - July 20)

What keeps you ticking?
A great balance in work and play is extremely important to me. What is the point of life if its all just work, and no enjoyment at all? Yet, how can you enjoy something if you have never worked for anything?
