​"I started my career as a writer in a publishing firm before I was wooed into the glitzy fast-paced world of advertising.  After seven years of late nights, countless campaigns and coffee overdoses, I decided to do something more meaningful with my life and joined a Voluntary Welfare Organisation serving the needy. 

That experience was a turning point for me as I realised that every one of us, no matter how incapable we feel, can actually help another when we put our heart into it. I joined SingHealth in 2002 and you can say that I found my calling here at the SGH Campus. I've been privileged to work with so many passionate clinicians and leaders with the vision to improve patients' lives."
