Bio

I am an Indonesian who have spent one-third of my life away from home. I went to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore for my business degree and afterwards I joined the teaching profession for 4 years as an elementary school teacher under Singapore Ministry of Education. I have been living there for 8 years and to me Singapore is a second home. I am a new Californian, currently living in the Bay Area for the past three years. I am a mom of almost 2 (currently pregnant with the second one) and I am passionate about different kinds of parenting and child psychology and development. I am recently hooked on the Great British Bake Off and am starting to learn how to bake. It's exciting to learn a whole new world of baking, because there's more science and precision to it compared to the art of cooking, and hence a different set of challenges that it provides. I love to know more about other culture and talk about anything related to history, cultural and geographical differences.

I'm passionate about

Psychology, Behavioral economics, Parenting, Technology

Areas of expertise
