I’m grateful for the recognition and heartened to share this special moment with my mum who supported my nursing journey twenty years ago and my husband, who instilled the confidence to pursue career growth. Many individuals, from colleagues and mentors to peers and bosses have contributed to my growth. They’ve shaped who I am today, aiding both my personal and professional development over the years. My nurses at TTSH have inspired me with their passion, and professionalism driving me to strive for excellence in my work for them. Adapting, engaging, and empowering my workforce to realize their fullest potential is my greatest aspiration as a leader. I dream to see Nursing as one of the most trusted and respected professions in Singapore, one which practice at a high level of professional standards and are connectors from persons to system level."

Nursing allows me to ‘do good deeds’ daily. One of the highest in honour and greatest in chivalry is showing kindness to the weak and the sick, taking care of them and looking after them. Helping the one who is sick and serving him/her is an act of charity. What matters most is that Nursing has allowed me to keep doing meaningful work – work that harmonizes meaning and purpose extends my motivation to make positive contributions to the community around me."
