About Me
Hello, I'm Cheryl! I'm a final year student in the National University of Singapore, pursuing a degree in Global Studies & Business. I am a firm believer in the notion of 'striving' – of constantly working and fighting to be better.
This fierce desire for excellence, keen awareness and intentionality anchors every aspect of my life; be it in my work or extracurriculars.
My passions centre on using tech for social good - and I've been incredibly privileged to pursue this in some of the work I'm doing.
​
Outside of work, I'm an avid ultimate frisbee player, captaining the NUS varsity team and serving as a member of the Singapore national team.
