Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

My journey in entrepreneurship started during my first internship at a startup. It was there that I dove into the world of UI/UX and found my passion for Product Management. What truly stuck with me was the hustle and bustle of the startup scene – the constant learning, the drive for innovation, and the process of building something from ground up. I enjoyed every moment I spent brainstorming and coming up with creative solutions. Joining TSM in Silicon Valley would be a dream come true, a chance to step into that same environment, connect with kindred spirits, and witness innovation in Silicon Valley firsthand. TSM was actually also what drew me in to join Information Systems in SMU

  • Where would you like to visit?

Definitely big tech firms like - Apple, Facebook, Google, Netflix, eBay, Paypal and the list goes on... Oh & Zoom would be quite interesting too given how it has significantly impacted all of us ever since Covid-19 happened. But also it's Silicon Valley so anything goes!

Other than big tech, I would definitely want to visit startup incubators/accelerators too to gain insights on the start-up ecosystem! Lastly, I would looove to visit the Computer History Museum just because I would love to go through the history of technology :) & I just enjoy museums haha
