Describe your personal brand.

I am committed to bringing a diverse perspective, drawing from my international experiences, while advocating for working mothers. As a hardworking and dedicated professional, I aim to build credibility through my efforts and support others in their journeys.

What were you doing before The NUS MBA?

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Government from Cornell University and my Juris Doctor from Columbia Law School. I began my career at a major law firm in New York and later became a U.S.-licensed attorney at a large law firm based in Seoul, Korea. Before pursuing my MBA, I worked as in-house counsel for a multinational pharmaceutical company.

Please share your key achievements and leadership roles on the programme.

In my previous role as a lawyer, I developed strong analytical and critical thinking skills. Although I had no prior exposure to marketing before my MBA, I believe these foundational skills, combined with the fresh perspective that I brought, created a synergy that led to the award.

What has been the single most stand-out experience of your MBA?

I decided to pursue an MBA to explore the world of entrepreneurship. I began working on a legal-tech start-up with my cohort mates, embracing challenges and opportunities to broaden my career path.

What advice would you give to other MBA aspirants?

My advice to other MBA students and aspirants is simple: have the courage to face who you are and what you want in life. NUS provides a supportive and safe environment for students to launch their own transformation, starting with self-discovery. It’s a perfect opportunity to consciously reflect on yourself and find the courage to determine what you truly want in life.
