lessed with three homes, the beginning of my
journey starts in Singapore, however a part of
me has always being in Malaysia and in my
Blater life, I was able to call Australia home.
I worked hard and was accepted in Monash University
in Australia, and by the age of 23, I graduated with a
Masters in Business Systems. My career in IT spans
between Singapore and Australia, where I was blessed
with having IT exposure in a few established hospitals
in Melbourne.
I was blessed with my little ones in 2012. With the
arrival of the twins came many challenges and when I
returned to Malaysia in 2016, I had the opportunity to
begin a new path with Ms Beverly Tan, who offered me a
chance to join her TKS & Sons Mrs International pageant
in Singapore and it was the beginning of a wonderful
journey as I was able to represent Malaysia as a beauty
queen.
When I won Mrs Asean in November, 2016, it was a
dream come true.
The journey continued with the opportunity to do charity
work within Malaysia and overseas, raising funds for various
charity missions. I was acknowledged with multiple awards
for my charity work including World Top Awards in Feb. 2017,
followed by Asian Smart Star Awards in May 2017, both in
Bangkok. On August 2017, I was crowned the winner of Queen
of Golden Global Hearts after raising the most number of funds
for the children in warzone Zamboanga, Phillippines.
In November 2017, I was acclaimed as the Most Outstanding
Beauty in the field of Philantrophy during the Gawad America
Award 2017 in Los Angeles, USA. Earlier this year, I was awarded
the Top Volunteer Award by the Ministry of Education in Bangkok,
Thailand. Then on July 2018, I received the Earth Top Awards
2018. Finally, on August 18, 2018, I received the Golden Global
Hearts Award 2018 in Japan.
I hope to be an inspiration to others that charity starts from
within. This is what my Mom has always instilled in me, to do charity
and to help others in need.
I am currently the national director for TKS & Sons Mrs Malaysia
and Borneo International pageant. A part time model, I am also trying
my hands at acting and producing an album of Piano pieces. I am the
Asia Ambassador of World Class Beauty Queens Magazine 2018.
In closing, I would like to give special thanks to Sonia D Bermejo,
the publisher of Manila Up International Magazine, for giving me the
opportunity to be their overseas beauty pageant columnist.
Thank you!
