Why TSM?
* What motivates you to join TSM?
1. I've had a fervent passion for tech since 13 years old.
I'm motivated to join TSM because of my fervent passion for technology, which I've had since the age of 13. I believe that technology is the key to unlocking a stronger, self-reliant, and connected nation, and I'm dedicated to leveraging technology for both a thriving digital economy and greater community outreach. I'm also committed to empowering women in the tech industry, as I've demonstrated through my leadership in Singapore's Girls in Tech Committee. Therefore, TSM provides an ideal opportunity for me to gain insights, network, and be influenced by the tech ecosystem in Silicon Valley. Hence, I believe the Silicon Valley mission will help me achieve my goal of making a significant impact in technology by expanding my knowledge and network.

2. It's my dream to run a tech startup.
Since young, I've always seemed to have that entrepreneurial flame and appetite in me. It's always been my dream to run a tech startup, and I've tried venturing into a couple of small businesses before. However, my aspiration is to create a scalable, sustainable, and impactful tech product or service. By joining TSM and experiencing the dynamic tech culture of Silicon Valley, I aim to be influenced and enlightened by the success stories, innovative thinking, and the network of professionals in the startup ecosystem. Hence, I believe the Silicon Valley mission will help me achieve my dream of running a successful tech startup by providing the inspiration, knowledge, and connections required.
3. It's my dream to run visit Silicon Valley.
Furthermore, visiting Silicon Valley has been a long-standing dream of mine. I'm eager to gain first-hand experience, meet various startups, and understand their unique perspectives and ways of thinking. This opportunity will inspire and motivate me to pursue my own tech ventures and continue contributing to the tech community. Hence, I believe the Silicon Valley mission will fulfil my dream of experiencing Silicon Valley and provide me with the insights and motivation I need to forge ahead.
* Where would you like to visit?
Beyond the traditional tech giants like Apple and Google, there are some exciting places I'd love to explore. Firstly, Cisco has always fascinated me with its network technologies. It's spread across many firms, and what's even more thrilling is that my personal mentor, Andy Lee, Managing Director of Cisco Systems Singapore & Brunei, could potentially host us there. Secondly, Automation Anywhere's low-code and no-code platforms have been making waves in the industry, and I have a personal friend, Adeline Koh, Head of Marketing APAC, India, JP, at Automation Anywhere, who could provide us with valuable insights. Lastly, Accenture's innovation hub in San Francisco aligns perfectly with my desire to explore tech consulting beyond traditional IT firms.
Hence, these visits will not only provide me with diverse perspectives but also unique opportunities to learn and grow in the tech world.
