Please tell us more about where you are currently working at and what you are doing.
I work at Tableau, one of the fast growing software firms in the world, as a Product Consultant. In my role, I empower clients across Asia Pacific to develop a data-driven culture and to make more meaningful business decisions.
What made you choose to do a degree in Social Sciences and why did you choose to do it in SMU?
I was always keen on studying Psychology because I always knew I wanted to help people. I chose SMU over other local universities because of the unique opportunities only available within a nimble and fast-growing environment and because the small class-size was more conducive to my learning.
How has the SOSS experience been for you, and how has it benefitted you?
The SOSS is often considered one of the most closely-knit schools in SMU. I have benefitted from this not just on a personal level by making great friends, but also on a professional level as well. I now have a wide network of acquaintances whom I can continue to collaborate with in the workplace.
Do you have any advice for your juniors that are currently in SOSS or for those who are planning to join the SOSS family?
Take advantage of our low student-teacher ratio and get to know our professors well. I have learnt a lot from them both in the classroom and in the school cafeteria and can objectively say that we have wonderful professors.
