Why Virtual TSM?

Previously, we worked with the SMU-X office for an analytics project on the entrepreneurial scene in SMU, which helped me understand more about the motivations and challenges of entrepreneurs in SMU, as well as Singapore. Attending a TSM would allow me to better understand different cultures, ways of thinking and step out of my comfort zone!

Businesses that provide positive customer experiences, and leverage strategic insight and advanced technologies are highly meaningful to me. I am especially interested in businesses that can empower communities through technology - such as non-profit organisations or underprivileged communities
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
Together with my friends, I started a digital marketing agency that does social media management, email marketing and web design for clients! I also do freelance UI/UX design work in the Crypto/ Blockchain/ Defi space.
