Summary

I am a dynamic bridge-builder with over 18 years of experience in clinical operations, international healthcare collaboration, and stakeholder engagement. I bring a unique blend of cultural insights and professional expertise, fostering connections across borders and creating synergies between Singapore and Vietnam's healthcare institutions, hospitals, universities, and NGOs.

I excel at navigating complex collaborations, aligning diverse stakeholders, and coordinating joint clinical education, cross-border patient care, and knowledge exchange programs. My diplomatic approach, strategic mindset, and clear communication enable me to thrive in environments where relationship-building and strategy go hand in hand.

Known as a dynamic bridge, I unite institutions and individuals toward shared goals. Driven by a passion for transformative impact, I am dedicated to nurturing partnerships that fortify healthcare infrastructures, facilitate knowledge exchange, and elevate the well-being of communities across Southeast Asia. I strive to ensure every collaboration contributes to a healthier, more connected region and leaves a lasting legacy of sustainable, innovative healthcare solutions benefiting both Singapore and Vietnam.
