It has been close to 3 years since I started my pursuit in entrepreneurship and I am always looking for opportunities in and outside of Singapore. I believe that the way to success is to chase after opportunities rather than waiting for it to come and one very important factor is “exposure”. This TSM will be a good exposure for me. On top of that, I am currently planning to declare ABT –Technopreneurship Track as my 2nd major and this module is in line with what I will be doing during my years in SMU.

I am really excited as this will be my first time going to South Korea! South Korea is definitely a place that I would like to explore at least once in my life.
