But a few years back, her work attire was entirely different and she wore an army uniform instead.
"During my childhood years, I listened to stories from my dad and was really fascinated. My father recalled fondly his time spent doing airborne training and outfield exercises, and the camaraderie he shared with his fellow comrades," she recounted to AsiaOne. "She proved that women could be just as competent in a high-pressure, physically exhaustive environment. The thrill of a challenge, plus the promise of an adventurous career made the SAF a natural choice."
As this meant that she did not have to live in the army camp, she managed to find time to pursue a part-time degree in marketing. "The clients I worked with were also familiar to me as they were mainly from the Singapore army," she shared, adding that even up till now, she still keeps in contact with the bosses and colleagues she met there.As she was "itching for a new challenge", she applied to be a product manager at DBS Bank because she "loves solving problems"."My first day at DBS was an eye-opener, to say the least.
