Info
- Summary
Hello! I'm the co-founder of Singapore Geek Girls, a local initiative for females in the technology industry to connect, mentor, share and learn from each other. Singapore Geek Girls runs technical workshops and networking sessions between startup founders, venture capitalists and software developers. In the last year the model has also been replicated to Indonesia (ID Geek Girls) and the Philippines (PH Geek Girls) as sister chapters.
I also manage Microsoft BizSpark in Singapore, a global program that helps software startups succeed by giving them access to software development tools, connecting them with key industry players, and providing marketing visibility.
I regularly contribute articles to SGEntrepreneurs.com and write about design and females founders. I help to organize GeekCampSG and am a soon-to-be instructor at Startup Academy.

- Fellow women's group The Athena Network's taking part in a competition with a prize to win $10,000 to empower women through learning! The grand prize of $10,000 will go towards funding the development of an online community platform that enables female executives and entrepreneurs to empower other women who do not have access to such essential information, resources and support. Because the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, let's work together as a community to grow and develop females further with The Athena Network, by tweeting #planwAthena as much as possible every day till 2pm on Friday February 22nd! Don't forget the hashtag #planwAthena!
