I have been a talent acquisition professional for the clinical research sector for eight years before switching to my current role of Strategic Account Manager in the digital marketing SaaS. My career in recruiting began from being a recruiter at a small sized regional agency, based out of Singapore, where I worked on mid-level to senior level functional and technical roles. Later on, I joined Kelly Scientific, this was were I learned to specialize in the recruitment of technical positions with a science, engineering or technology focus, such as pharmacology, biochemistry, chemistry, molecular biology and immunology. Throughout my career in recruitment, I have recruited for the pharmaceutical, medicine, medical device, medical writing, chemical and clinical research industries. Due to my specialization in these fields, I naturally progressed into recruitment within the clinical research sector when I transitioned into corporate recruitment and stayed within this industry for many years.

During the year 2018, I felt the urge to step outside my comfort zone from recruitment and move into digital marketing. As early as 2015, I had already begun to feel the need to broaden my skillset beyond hiring and managing candidates. Life coaching has always been part of my life's work. While I've stopped doing sessions as a profession, I continue to coach individuals today for free.

The last few years off from corporate life and recruiting/talent acquisition has allowed me to reflect on how rewarding it is to be able to help people improve their lives. It wasn't always easy coming out of my comfort zone and going through the pandemic period has only made the experience more significant. There were many times throughout my career where I questioned about whether I am happy now or if I was happier before. My conclusion is that I've never stopped doing what I loved and do best - helping others professionally. I'm glad to offer friendship to those that enjoy my company and appreciate the energy I bring to the table. Whether I'm working in recruitment or in the digital marketing industry, I'm still the person I am today. I see myself continuing to hold my passion for working closely with people professionally until the day I retire! If you're like me, someone who enjoys human connections, please send me a message so we can connect. I'd be thrilled to have you as part my network.
