About

I am an Applied Economics graduate from the National University of Singapore, with a strong interest in using economic analysis to inform real-world policy and strategic decisions. My experience spans across policy research, dispute resolution, and consulting. I have worked on regulatory research in financial dispute resolution at FIDReC, supported growth and market analysis for social enterprises with 180 Degrees Consulting, and engaged in development economics research. Across these roles, I have focused on translating data, institutional constraints, and stakeholder perspectives into actionable insights. My interests lie at the intersection of public policy, development, financial inclusion, and sustainability, particularly in the Asian context. I also run LensEcon, a public-facing initiative where I connect economic models and theory to current policy issues, global events, and everyday economic phenomena. Through this, I aim to make economic thinking more accessible while sharpening my own applied policy perspective. I am currently exploring Economist, Policy Analyst, Research Analyst, and Strategy roles in Singapore where research and analysis go hand in hand with practical impact.
