The play focuses on the construction of the self, with emphasis on the effects of neurodivergency, mental health, and familial relationships. The experience of writing with writers of different cultures, styles, and backgrounds provided an opportunity to learn about different perspectives. Simultaneously, the distilling of these perspectives into a singular work is an opportunity in understanding how to reconcile and maximise differing viewpoints--a critical aspect of collaborative creation.

Education And Operations AssistantJustedu Nov 2020 - Oct 2021SingaporeJustEdu was my gap year employment meant to sustain myself financially, where my job scope focused on operational management, customer service, and administrative organisation. Through my liaising position, I was able to develop my conflict resolution abilities. However, upon recognition of my abilities, I was given the opportunity to teach several classes. While teaching is not an interest of mine, my patience and knowledge became useful for my work there. Nonetheless, this experience surprisingly provided me with the opportunity to hone my communication skills by ensuring that I am understood. -
Admin Support AssistantSingapore Armed Forces (Saf) Sep 2018 - Apr 2020SingaporeI served as an Admin Support Assistant in SAF Commando. While there, I had the privilege of being put in a leadership role for my branch that provided me with opportunities on strategic planning, event management, and content creation. I also had the privilege of making presentations and pitches to Chief Commando Officer and other high-ranking officers within the Formation. This culminated in a SAF Chief Commando Officer Coin upon the completion of my service. My greatest privilege was in working closely with my branch colleagues in the completion of our tasks. Unlike other leaders in SAF who had the power associated with their rank or position to exercise their responsibility, I had to lead from amongst the pack. This challenged the way I negotiated my roles as leader and colleague, and challenged me on my notion of leadership. Ultimately, it gave me great pleasure to be able to motivate and lead my colleagues into the excellent completion of our roles. I consider it an honour to have been able to work with my neurodivergent colleagues, especially, in creating a safe space where effective communication facilitated mutual understanding and cooperation. -

Member Of Youth Jury And Critics ProgrammeSingapore International Film Festival Aug 2017 - Dec 2017SingaporeMentored by film critic Kevin B. Lee and other prominent members of the Film Industry on film appreciation and film criticism. Networked and met with regional filmmakers. This experience developed my interest in film, and challenged the way I engage with the medium and articulate my appreciation of it in a way that others can understand. The vast perspectives offered by my peers also provided opportunities for me to better learn about the medium. The programme culminated in the awarding of a Youth Jury Prize to a regional short film of our choice, and several written criticism pieces assisted by our mentors.
