==<font face="Segoe Script" size=5 color=#7B3F00>Why TSM New York City?</font>==
* What motivates you to join TSM? 
** Within this generation, the ability to understand technology is very important. Whether you are an SME or an MNC, not incorporating the various technologies in your business will only make you lose out. As such, I hope to be able to learn more about the applications of technology in the various MNCs and startups. 
* Why pick New York City? 
** With the big tech firms, such as Google and Amazon, setting up new offices in NYC, it will definitely be interesting to see what makes NYC an attractive environment. 

==<font face="Segoe Script" size=5 color=#7B3F00>Starting a business</font>==
* What types of business interest you?
** My interest in business lies in the fashion/e-commerce world. I would definitely love to learn how the tech scene can also bring improvements to these industries. 
* What plan do you have in starting a business?
** I have always wanted to start my own business and be my own boss. While I do not have a concrete plan in mind, I wish to start a business within my area of interest, that can also bring happiness to others 😁

* April 2019 - October 2019: Student Consulting Project with UOB-SMU Asian Enterprise Institute 

==<font face="Segoe Script" size=5 color=#7B3F00>What keeps you ticking?</font>==
* Sometimes life may seem stressful and tough, but having small things to look forward to (like recess week, end of Y3S1, vacations) really motivates me to keep going!
