About

I work at the intersection of sustainability, science and storytelling. At A*STAR’s Institute of Sustainability for Chemicals, Energy and Environment (ISCE2) on Jurong Island, I lead communications efforts that translate complex scientific work into stories that resonate with industry, researchers, policymakers and the wider public. ISCE2’s work spans areas such as decarbonisation and specialty chemicals. My role is to make these ideas clearer, more accessible and more connected to the real-world challenges they aim to solve. I’m passionate about communicating sustainability in ways that are credible, accessible and grounded in impact. To me, good communications is not just about visibility - it is about helping important work travel further. Outside work, I’m also deeply interested in sport, travel and writing. I run trails, stay active across different sports, and use this space to share thoughts on work, wellness, learning and life. If any of those worlds overlap with yours, let’s connect.
