Writer
Born and raised in Singapore.
Lived and learned everywhere else.
I'm a writer and partnership manager working in learning and development. Most of my work involves people: understanding what they need, making complicated things easier to understand, and figuring out how to get organisations and their people to actually use the things we build for them.
Before that, I taught art, worked in fashion merchandising, and played guitar on the streets for anyone who'd listen. Somewhere along the way, I've written, presented, marketed, managed, taught, made things, and developed an unreasonable number of opinions about how things ought to work.
Outside work, I write about whatever has my attention — people, places, music, memory, and the minor absurdities of being alive.
Strengths
Humility
I’m not good at being modest because I’m great at it.
Making playlists
Pass me the aux anytime.
Giving gifts
Yet it’s not even top 3 in my love languages.
Public speaking
I never took my mom’s advice about not talking to strangers.
Judging
Doing the Lord’s work.
Weaknesses
Impractical
Untethered to reality doesn’t sound as catchy.
Short attention span
I refuse to get checked for ADHD.
Prone to slipping
I have an aversion to friction and wet floors.
Addictive personality
Healthy coping mechanisms are overrated.
Avoidant tendencies
I love running 5Ks and away from minor inconveniences.
