I made it my life’s mission to get into the advertising & marketing industry the moment I stepped out of a career orientation. I was 15, confused and sitting there bored to my wits when someone from a huge global ad agency shared her story. Twenty-five years later, I’m still here, always ecstatic about creating inspiring brand stories in this exhilarating time when we can reach millions of people through so many different channels. I've led cross-functional teams working with clients across a range of industries, including retail, pharma and tech, and helped their brands connect with audiences in meaningful ways. In and out of social media, you’d catch me beaming with pride when I successfully make homecooked meals and homebaked goods. I find immense joy in karaoke, medical dramas, and grocery shopping. I also keep over a thousand books I will never read, and a vast collection of eyeshadow palettes I will never use. Oh, and I learned to triumphantly play mahjong at 40, to prepare for retirement.
