About

Aspiring to build a meaningful career in sports consulting, I am particularly interested in the intersection of business, sustainability, and cross-industry strategy. I bring a strong foundation in project management and fire safety, with experience delivering high-profile projects across Singapore’s commercial, hospitality, and education sectors. My work has involved end-to-end project planning, stakeholder engagement, risk management, budget control, ESG alignment, and regulatory compliance. Previously, as Fire Safety Manager for Mondrian Duxton Hotel, I drove the implementation of fire safety strategies that strengthened compliance standards while supporting the safety of building occupants and operations. I am also someone who values meaningful relationships, lifelong learning, and creating positive influence in the lives of others. I enjoy engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, exchanging ideas, and contributing to conversations centred on growth, development, and impact.

  • Certified Personal Fitness Trainer at Freelance
    Aug 2024 - Present · 2 yrs

    As a personal fitness trainer, I’ve worked with over 100 clients across various fitness levels, from beginners building their foundation to seasoned gym-goers or even athletes aiming to refine their performance. My focus is on helping individuals lead stronger, healthier, and more confident lives through sustainable training and nutrition habits that translate to long-term benefits.
