Why TSM?
What motivates you to join TSM?
I’ve heard about TSM ever since I was a freshman and have set my sights on applying in the future because of the overseas experience and being able to learn about the startup culture of other countries, so here I am!
Ever since I’ve been on a trip to Blk71 many moons ago, I’ve always wanted to work for a startup one day – which I did eventually, and it was a great experience because you get to learn a lot from doing everything.
Where do you NOT want to travel for TSM?
No preference, am open to anywhere!
Starting a business
What types of business interest you?
FinTechs! I’m always amazed when I come across FinTech startups that are working towards financial inclusion, and making financial services available to the unbanked or the underbanked. M-Pesa is a great example.
What plan do you have in starting a business?
Was part of a tech startup in my first two years in SMU and we’re currently incubated at SMU BIG! And maybe a FinTech startup in the future. 😃
