I hold an MBA, BSc in Business & Management, and a Graduate Diploma in HRM, along with the following professional credentials: ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Certified Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF), Certified Behavioural Career Consultant (CBCC), and ACTA-certified adult educator.
Through my one-on-one coaching, corporate training, and large-scale webinars, I have empowered over 1,500 professionals across APAC and globally to achieve clarity, confidence, and success in their careers. In addition to individual coaching, I collaborate with organizations to deliver career transition and outplacement services supporting employees affected by restructuring or layoffs.
As an accomplished corporate trainer, I have designed and delivered soft skills and leadership workshops for American, European, Japanese, and local MNCs, as well as government agencies.

I am a certified DISC Trainer, and I integrate personality and communication styles into my coaching and training to help individuals enhance self-awareness, collaboration, and interpersonal effectiveness. My impact is reflected in over 200 glowing LinkedIn recommendations from clients and peers, as well as my recognition as one of the Most Impactful Career Coaches in Singapore (2025) by Conglomerate Magazine.
