Why TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I love going on project based exchange programmes, to broaden my cultural knowledge, increase network connections and be exposed to various technologies/solutions that companies are smartly using for their day-to-day operations. Joining TSM provides me the opportunity. My interest was kick started from my past experiences during my polytechnic days, working with China and Korea students on cultural and entrepreneurship projects. In addition, TSM can help me further link some of the learning experiences that I got from attending SMU Modules (e.g Managing Customer Relations With Analytics) and my working experiences in the government sector that has an industry center. It will then make my learning experience more meaningful when one is able to combine all the experiences together.
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Digital transformation consultancy business interest me. It's amazing and satisfying to see how your advice and solutions can benefit your client's business.
- What plan do you have in starting a business?
I do plan starting a business, offering solutions and consulting for digital marketing services and digital transformation services.
Past Experiences (optional)
I have experiences in IT project management, web development and geospatial skills through my contract job with Geoworks (by Singapore Land Authority). Through my job I got to attend the Geospatial Week and interact with Geowork partners. Geoworks is also an industry engagement centre, housing various companies (e.g Mogul, Volocopter, Fatos, Grab and many more) that specialises in Geospatial Work.
Apart from work related, matters, I enjoy joining CCAs and school activities to grow with my peers. I had served both as President and Vice President for SMU Taekwondo club and a marketing deputy for SMU Marketing Society.
