Professional Profile & Summary
I am a versatile professional with over 15 years of experience across education, higher education administration, adult learning, human capital development, and community engagement. Guided by the philosophy of "Using Life To Influence Lives," my journey spans formal pedagogy in secondary and tertiary institutions, university residential advisor leadership, and grassroots community governance.
Currently serving as Residential Life Advisor (Deputy Manager) at Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), I integrate evidence-based student development frameworks, pastoral care, and leadership training. My recent qualifications - including the Graduate Certificate in Innovative Approaches to Adult Learning (SUSS), IHRP Workplace Learning Champion Role Badge, and WSQ Advanced Certificate in Learning & Performance (ACLP) - enable me to bridge adult education pedagogy with human capital alignment, capability building, and workplace learning blueprints.
