ABOUT ME
To write is to connect; to connect, I listen.
A collector of stories, a narrator of tales, and a giver of perspective, I’ve always been drawn to personal stories that inspire and leave a lasting impact.
It began with a deep curiosity about experience—what does it mean to stand out? To be different from the rest?
That curiosity led me to Vulcan Post. A digital lifestyle and tech publication, it was my first step out of my comfort zone—no longer just writing from behind a desk but stepping into the world of entrepreneurs, business leaders, and innovators.
I learned how to network, craft interview questions, and dig beyond first impressions to uncover what truly drives people. I covered live events, attended business conferences, and found myself at the forefront of stories that mattered. From Hatsune Miku’s First Live Hologram Concert in Malaysia to the ASEAN Rice Bowl Startup Awards, I connected with passionate founders, learning the ins and outs of business pitching and funding.
Later, at Caspian Digital Solutions, I expanded into client-based work, creating content for brands like The Children’s House, Nilai University, and Myanmar’s Hotel & Tourism Department. I wrote e-brochures, blog articles, and social media copy, adapting my storytelling to fit each brand’s voice. That experience opened a new door for me—education.
Writing has always been my form of expression, but in education, I found purpose.
At Eduloco, a young startup, I was tasked with growing our Instagram and TikTok from scratch. I dove headfirst into social media research, analyzing what Gen Z audiences engaged with—bold, witty, and informative content that didn’t feel like a lecture. We experimented with TikTok trends, shot comedic English lessons, and refined our brand voice into something that felt real and relatable. Within four months, our IG gained over 600+ followers, and one of our videos—“Don’t Do This In The UK”—went viral, racking up 600K+ views. It was proof we were onto something.
Then, the unexpected.
Our manager flew to Sydney for a round of investor pitching, only to return with bad news. The company’s sister brand had suffered major losses, and we weren’t generating enough revenue to cover them. The team was let go.
I took the first job that came my way—Mister Coffee. Writing about beans and brews had its charm, but the passion I had for education never faded.
Then came SEGi University.
It was perfect timing. My experience at Vulcan Post and Eduloco had shaped me for this role—telling the stories of students, their achievements, and the milestones that defined their academic journey. One of my biggest projects was the Convocation Day Campaign, a celebration of graduates that took social media by storm. The campaign gained over 6,000+ likes and 70K views, a testament to how well we connected with the student community.
I also took on lecturer interviews, diving into their insights on education and career growth. We wanted to make their expertise accessible—translating complex academic knowledge into engaging narratives that students could relate and inspire educators around the world.
And then there was the SEGi College Subang Jaya's campus launch, where we introduced the New Dawn Scholarship and showcased the new facilities in a fun, engaging way.
Along the way, I refined my social media strategy, experimenting with Instagram and TikTok to understand what truly engaged students. I paid close attention to social media listening, tracking trends, and analyzing how students interacted with content.
What worked? What didn’t? What made them laugh, engage, and share?
Perhaps it was these passions that drew me to my role in writing for In Real Life. As a part-time writer, I chose to connect with people who had authentic stories to share. A story I covered was about a Malaysian woman who felt deeply conflicted in her marriage. She felt obligated to stay due to her religious values and family upbringing, but the voice in her heart told another story.
The story rose to controversial fame online, generating 190,000 views and 11,000 clicks of people who clicked in to read the story on In Real Life’s official website.
Every role I’ve taken has shaped the way I write, create, and connect. But at the heart of it all, one thing remains true—I write to tell stories that matter.
