Please tell us more about where you are currently working at and what you are doing.

I am a Human Capital Consultant with Deloitte Consulting. I work closely with my clients on projects such as Change Management, Organisation Design and HR Operating Model. Depending on the needs of the project, I get to travel around the region. So far, I have had the privilege to work in the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia. I enjoy the variety of work that I do and solving the different challenges I’m faced with from time to time.

What made you choose to do a degree in Social Sciences and why did you choose to do it in SMU?

I have always been interested in learning about the human behaviour and was drawn to SMU’s multifaceted and interactive pedagogy, which I felt would be engaging and intellectually stimulating.

In addition, SMU offered its students the flexibility of taking a second major from SOSS or any of the other disciplines in SMU, encouraging a more holistic approach to learning.

How has the SOSS experience been for you, and how has it benefitted you?

Looking back, I enjoyed every single bit of my undergraduate life in SMU and my fondest memories of school would be the multiple overseas opportunities I had participated in, which SMU had offered to its students. From the Work and Travel USA programme, to an overseas internship stint in Shanghai, China and lastly an exchange semester in Bordeaux, France, SMU had moulded me into a resilient, independent and confident individual. Besides, all these experiences allowed me to bring my classroom knowledge to life.
