Bio

An experienced manager having spent over 3 years in sales and operation functions in the hospitality industry. I have had the privilege to work on a variety of projects from selling and organizing Chinese weddings in Singapore to planning and implementing corporate strategy in India. My insatiable curiosity and passion for collaboration have led me to put on 2 TEDx conferences. In my free time, you can find me scuba diving or baking.

I'm passionate about

My friends and family often describe me as a foodie. I am always up to cook, eat or even just talk about all things food. From street food to cafe hopping to fine dining experiences, I love it all! My other passion is scuba diving. So far, I have gone diving in Bali, Mauritius, Malta and Seychelles and hope to visit Egypt, Raja Ampat and Maldives in the near future.

Areas of expertise

Baking, Business, Cross-cultural Collaboration, Event Planning, Interpersonal Communication, Leadership, Scuba Diving

The TED story

My first TEDx experience was in 2023 in the events department at TEDxEDHECBusinessSchool. Little did I know that an unexpected message on a WhatsApp group chat would lead to one of my favourite experiences! Following the first successful event, I decided to take the lead on TEDxEDHECNice 2024. I continuously learn from teammates, and experts in yoga, technology, leadership, dance and much more!
