I’m a proud mom of two beautiful daughters, sister to four amazing sisters, and a lifelong dancer (started at 7!). I graduated from NUS in Building & Real Estate, and never stepped foot in this industry. From a regional role in the luxury industry at a global MNC to now leading family wealth management at Unicorn (with a powerhouse team of mostly girls!), I’ve truly been dancing through life’s twists and turns.
I was a Regional Manager in the luxury industry, working with iconic brands like Bottega Veneta, Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Yves Saint Laurent, etc. My days were filled with frequent business trips across the region, collaborating with diverse teams, and bringing world-class experiences to life. It was an exciting chapter that taught me the value of brand excellence, adaptability, and building strong relationships—skills I now bring into my work at Unicorn.
I now assist individuals in crafting their freehold life through highly personalized life design. Committed to partnering with you for life, we continuously review, fine-tune, and engineer your plans towards a lifetime of joy and prosperity. Together, we create a future you can fully own and celebrate.
Honestly, it was the search for meaning and growth. I wanted a career where I could keep learning, evolving, and making a real difference—no matter my age or stage in life.
My journey with Unicorn began as an investor, quietly inspired by the firm’s vision and values. Deep down, I always knew I wanted to be part of this incredible team. Then, life granted me my wish: I was retrenched in my mid-thirties. Instead of letting that setback define me, I saw it as my chance to finally pursue a path that truly mattered.
Today, I’m grateful for every twist and turn that brought me here—doing work I love, with like-minded people who share the same values, and helping trusted friends build their own legacies. Sometimes, the detours are what take us exactly where we’re meant to be.
I honestly can’t recall many difficulties because most challenges I faced were transformed into opportunities for growth. With the right mindset and support from mentors, what once seemed like obstacles became valuable lessons that paved the way for new possibilities.
I’m inspired by my mentors, who are true role models not just in business, but in life. They lead by example—constantly investing in their own growth, prioritizing values, and focusing on possibilities rather than obstacles. Their commitment to strengthening their character in the face of challenges inspires me to do the same.
The honor to guide trusted friends in building their “freehold life”—one where they have full ownership of their life, making decisions with confidence, and pursuing their dreams on their own terms. Being part of that journey and witnessing their growth is incredibly fulfilling. It’s about empowering them to live life on their own terms, and there’s no greater reward.
Vision: To empower every trusted friend to build their freehold life—one of full ownership, freedom, and fulfillment.
Personal Motto: Life is about continuous self-improvement, not just for myself, but to better serve and uplift others.
In my free time, I love to reconnect with nature through peaceful walks in the forest. I also practice meditation and qigong to center my mind and body. When I need a quick energy boost, I hop on the treadmill—these moments help me unwind and recharge.
Many women lose confidence simply because they aren’t working in roles that truly match their strengths or in environments that nurture their growth. I believe empowerment starts with self-awareness—helping women understand themselves better and discover new strengths. Through personalized guidance, wealth management, and a supportive community, I encourage women to make informed choices, embrace their unique talents, and create the life they truly deserve. When women align their careers and environments with their true potential, confidence naturally follows.
One thing I’m truly grateful for is the incredible people around me—their support, encouragement, trust and belief in me inspire me every day to keep growing and striving for better.
You are never alone. Life won’t give you challenges you can’t overcome. Embrace an abundance mindset, seek support when needed, and don’t hesitate to ask for professional help. Most importantly, take time to plan your business success—having a clear business plan and setting goals will guide your journey and help you turn your vision into reality.
One important lesson I’ve learned recently is that businesses rarely fail due to a lack of skill or expertise. More often, it’s the absence of proper planning that leads to setbacks. I hope other ladies remember that investing time in thoughtful planning is essential for long-term business success.
