Summary

I am a disciplined and committed professional with four years of experience as a Maintenance Engineer in the Republic of Singapore Air Force, specialising in the upkeep and mission readiness of Chinook helicopters. Through this role, I cultivated strong values in system discipline, teamwork, and leading by example within a high-performance, safety-critical environment. Alongside my military service, I discovered a growing passion for engaging and empowering young minds—first sparked through mission trips with ACTS Singapore 2017-2018, and later reinforced through practical experience working in a student care setting. These experiences inspired me to transition towards the education and care sector, where I am now actively building my foundation through a part-time degree in Childhood and Early Years Studies and through part time employment in educational settings. I am eager to continue developing my ability to support and inspire children, especially in their formative years.
